MANAGING EDITOR
Allison Mackin
ASSISTANT EDITOR
When I first started planning

this special knitting issue, I thought
a lot about the idea of authentic
luxurythat something made by
hand, with intention and care, has at
least as much intrinsic value as any massproduced luxury good. And authentic luxury
abounds in our craft, even in the simplest, purest knit. When intricate patterning and complex surface design have been stripped away,
youre left to focus on the inherent beauty of loops that interlock to
form a flexible, fluid fabric. In essence, knitting is a kind of marvelous
alchemy that turns string into stitches, stitches into clothes. Its all the
easier to appreciate when presented in a clean, uncluttered frame.
In this first issue of knit.wear, were exploring just that kind of
knittingsleek, visually simple pieces built with the simplest stitches.
At the same time, were drawing on every trick in the thoughtful
knitters toolkit: Unusual constructions, fabric manipulations, and
gauge experiments all take a turn. The finished pieces are conceptual,
elegant, and moderninteresting to knit, easy to wear.
In The Perfect Sweater (page 15), Pam Allen explores one
simple shape, four ways. In On The Edge (page 37), clean designs
showcase just one or two fine details. The Elements of Knitting
(page 57) explores designs that only use knits and purls. Ruffle,
Drape, and Pleat (page 75) folds and manipulates knitted fabric in
new ways. And Assembly Required (page 103) focuses on unique
constructions and structured stitches with a sculptural quality.
With minimalistic finished knits, execution and design come
forward. So were investigating refinements to established techniques
(Technique Lab: The Ins and Outs of Grafting, page 52), exploring
design and designers (On Design: Ribbing Inspiration, page 32, and
A Knitters World: All Paths Lead to Yarn, page 98), and focusing
on the little touches that can make or break an otherwise unadorned
knit (In the Details: Close Up, page 12).
Make clothes that fit your life, your wardrobe, you. Enjoy the knitting for its own sake. Wear your knits every day; surround yourself
with authenticity and intention. Knit. Wear. Its what we do.
Cheers!

toggles
THE LOOK: Outerwear-, historical
costume-, or ethnic-inspired, depending
on design (simple, ornate, or knotted)
and material (chrome or wood, pewter,
or cording).
THE APPLICATION: Use on noncurling selvedges (i.e., double-knitted
or ribbed selvedges) or applied bands
that abut. Place each toggle half so the
interlocking portion just barely extends
over edge of fabric to prevent gaping.
Sew firmly to right side of fabric.
ONE BETTER: Make your own frog-type
toggles with I-cord in a matching yarn.
pins
THE LOOK: Effortless but no-nonsense.
THE APPLICATION: None at all. Overlap edges by desired amount and pin.
buttons +
buttonholes
buttons +
button loops
THE LOOK: Prep-tastic. Small, closely

spaced buttons lend ladylike charm.
THE LOOK: Round delicate buttons

bring a hint of Victoriana. Larger buttons
and loops can add industrial funk.
THE APPLICATION: Apply button and

buttonhole bands after knitting the garment pieces. Plan your button locations
first and knit a band with buttonholes
to match for the best fit. Try planning
button placement by putting a button at
each stress pointfull bust, neck, waist if
the sweater is fittedand then distributing other buttons in between.
ONE BETTER: Keep knitted buttonbands from sagging with a backing of
grosgrain ribbon.
THE APPLICATION: Shank buttons

and loops can be used on applied bands
or garment selvedges that do not curl.
Edges should overlap slightly. Pin buttons
on first; then lay the overlapping edge as
desired and mark locations and lengths
of button loops. Try crochet chain loops
for small buttons or I-cord for larger
ones. Sew firmly to the wrong side of the
fabric at the marked locations.
ONE BETTER: Make fabric-covered
buttons in fabric scraps to match your
project: handsew a running stitch
around the perimeter of a circular fabric
scrap; draw around a shank button of
the right size and secure, leaving the
shank exposed.
ONE BETTER: In a pinch, use a doublepointed needle.

in the details
hooks + eyes
THE LOOK: Small versions have lingerie-inspired appeal. Chunkier hardware
gives an outerwear look.
THE APPLICATION: Use on noncurling edges or with applied bands that
abut, overlap, or do not meet completely. Sew hardware firmly to wrong side
of fabric with sewing thread, checking
alignment to ensure edges will lie where
you want them.
snaps
THE LOOK: Clean and elegant. The
minimalists closure.
THE APPLICATION: Use on non-curling selvedges or with applied bands that
overlap. Sew peg side of snap to right
side of underlap; sew dimple side of snap
to wrong side of overlap to match.
ONE BETTER: Pick up hook-and-eye

tape at the sewing notions counter for
preinstalled hooks and eyes and a ribbon
facing in one.
knit.wear
THE LOOK: Sporty with a chunky plastic

zipper; utilitarian and industrial with a
metal one.
THE APPLICATION: Use on noncurling selvedges or with applied bands
that abut. Stay edges with ribbon on the
wrong side or a row of machine stitches
to prevent stretching. Pin zipper to edges, checking alignment and just barely
hiding teeth; sew with handstitches or
bymachine.
ONE BETTER: Edge garment fabric
with an applied I-cord to create a natural
channel to hide machine topstitching.
ONE BETTER: Back the wrong sides of

both underlap and overlap with handwhipstitched grosgrain ribbon to support
snaps and prevent gaping and stretching.

ribbing
inspiration
by DEBORAH NEWTON

1 This swatch is worked in a

variegated 1-ply merino wool
(Manos del Uruguay Maxima). The
yarn holds the rather flat k3, p3
rib on the lower part of the swatch
well. The top of the swatch has the
same number of sts as the lower
section but the k1, p1 rib draws in
more strongly. This band would
work well at the waistline of a
sweater.
2 This swatch is worked in a crisp
wool/cotton blend (Tahki Yarns
Coast) in a moss stitch rib: each
textured 4-st wale has moss stitch
over the center 2 sts. Each knit
wale is divided by 3 purl sts. The
reverse of this swatch is very attractive as well.
3 A crisp pima cotton yarn (Cascade Ultra Pima) makes this eyelet
rib stand out. Each eyelet wale is
worked over 5 sts and has a pretty
open quality. The fabric has a soft
elasticity that is suited to draped
garments. In a more springy
wool, this rib would draw in more
strongly.
4 This textured rib lies very flat

with little side-to-side elasticity. It
has a beautiful reverse side, making it very suitable for garments
that show both sides of the fabric.
On the RS, the single-stitch knit
wales are twisted, which gives the
pattern a lot of crispness, even
when worked in a buttery singleply silk wool blend (Malabrigo
Silky Merino).
5 The 3-st knit wales of this

deeply ridged slipped-stitch rib
are made more prominent by slipping the center stitch of each on
RS rows. This deep fabric is suited
for very warm garments: the raised
rib acts almost like a thermal fabric
and gives loft to a drapey pure
alpaca (Alpaca Yarn Co. Classic
Alpaca) yarn.
In ribbed fabrics, knit and purl

stitches alternate in parallel channels
across the material. The opposing pulls
of knit stitches and purl stitches create a
fabric that tends to draw in. Most ribbings
are more elastic than other knitted fabrics,
and most have strong vertical lines.
The family of knitted ribbings is wide
and diverse. Some ribbed patterns are balanced and have an even surface. Others are
unbalanced, with individual ribs, or wales,
that vary in size. Ribbed patterns can also
include a wide variety of textural and
lace elements.
As a designer, I find that ribbed
fabrics have a lush quality. Stitches that
compress and pull give these patterns a
depth and richness that flat fabrics often
lack. Here are some of my favorite ribbing patterns and some ideas for how to
use them.
Different Ribbed
Patterns + What They Do
Not all ribbed fabrics are the same:
They vary in type, elasticity, and texture.
When you want to design with a ribbed
fabric, or consider one as part of a sweater
or its details, its helpful to understand
the qualities of different ribbed patterns.
I suggest that you cast on and try
working some of these ribbed patterns in
different yarns to learn about the characteristics of each and how yarn influences
them. Learn hands-on about this family
of patterns and devise an original ribbing
of your own!
Balanced Ribbings
The patterns I call balanced ribbings

have an equal number of stitches in both
knit and purl wales. These are a mindless pleasure to knit (or torture if you
get bored easily). Patterns with smaller
individual wales have the most horizontal

elasticity; those with wider wales have
less. All are reversible, or the same on
both sides, so they are great for garments
or details where both sides show.
The simplest balanced rib alternates
one knit and one purl stitch, resulting
in a very elastic fabric (see Swatch 1 ,
opposite). Perhaps best at edges, single
rib is flat and dense. The most obvious
variation is double rib, which alternates
two knits and two purls. Double rib is
more rounded in appearance and only
slightly less elastic. Its suitable for edges
and also works well as an allover fabric
for garments.
As balanced ribs grow wider, to k3,
p3 rib (Swatch 1) or k4, p4 rib, you can
expect the fabric to have less elasticity, though it will still draw in slightly.
These wide ribs are flatter because each
individual wale acts like a column of
stockinette stitch, with proportionally
fewer transition areas of opposing pulls.
Unbalanced Ribbings
Unbalanced ribbings are those that

have wales of different sizes within the
same fabric. The possibilities are infinite:
k3, p2. K4, p2. K6, p3or whatever
combination of knit and purl stitches
you like. Generally speaking, these ribbings are more elastic when the knit and
purl wales are close in size and less elastic
when one type of wale is wide and the

Unbalanced ribs have great potential
for visual interest, and, along with combinations of balanced ribs, are fun to knit
and invent. For example, I might alternate
an area of single rib with a wider area
of another rib. The best way to devise
these patterns is to cast on and try some
combinations. Its rather useless to plot

them on graph paper because you cant

get a sense of how the fabric will draw in
or drape.
Textured Ribbings
Textured ribbings are those that incorporate elements of knit/purl patterning within the ribs themselves. They have
all the lushness of a fabric that draws in,
with the added attraction of a pebbly surface. See Swatches 2 and 4 on page 32.
If you want to experiment with adding
some simple texture to a large rib, try
working some seed stitch at the center of
4-stitch (or wider) knit wales, adjacent to
purl wales of any width. Or add some occasional horizontal garter ridges, regularly
or irregularly placed, to a plain ribbed
pattern.

Many ribbings feature yarnover elements, which can add an eyelet or lacelike
effect, while at the same time retaining a
ribbed quality. In fact, any narrow stockinette stitchbased lace pattern can be
worked in panels, divided by purl stitches
to create an openwork lace ribbing. See
Swatch 3 on page 32.

Technical Considerations
Needle size + tension
Cabled + Twisted Ribbing
Any columnar cableor more than

one!can be repeated across a fabric,
with purl stitches in between to make a
ribbed fabric. Cabled ribbing is heavier
than most other ribbings. It draws in
more and is dense; take this into account
when planning a garment.
Any ribbing that incorporates wales
of two knit stitches can be fancified by
working a right twist or left twist in each
wale on right-side rowsdo this every
right-side row for a firm and very textured rib or space the twists 4 to 6 rows
apart for a smoother, more even rib. Mixing both right and left twists in the same
ribperhaps alternating themcan give
a ribbing a curious disjointed look! Using
these little twist stitch cables on a field
of purl (in other words, between wide
purl wales) is one way to make a very
simple ribbed fabric with a classic touch
of texture.
ROW 2 *K3, p1, k1, p2, rep from *,

Openwork or Lace Ribs
Moss Stitch Rib
Single rib: even number of sts
Single Stitch Accents
Something as simple as a slipped

stitch at the center of a rib that contains
three knit stitcheswhich raises it and
makes an even deeper textureor an
isolated twisted single rib can add a touch
of subtle texture. See Swatches 4 and 5
on page 32.
Unusual Rib Combinations
Combining different ribbings for contrast can create a unique fabric: Alternate
a lace rib with a cable, or with a textured
rib, or anything else you can dream of.
As a designer, I always scrutinize both
sides of a knitted fabric. Lately I am fond
of what is traditionally the wrong side of
laceit has a more textured, unexpected
quality. So if I were to use the wrong side
of a lacy rib pattern as the right side, the
plain knit wales (which are purl wales
on the right side) would be predominant
The marriage of yarn and needle is

important in a ribbed fabric. Do you
want a soft, drapey ribbed fabric? Or a
firm, structured rib? Consider the qualities your yarn will contribute. Is it a softedged yarn that knits to a delicate, limp
fabric? Then a smaller needle might give
the fabric density. A tightly twisted yarn
might yield a firm ribbing, so you could
use a larger needle to soften the effect.
When working ribbed patterns, make
sure you get in the knitting rhythm of tugging as you shift from one rib to another.
This will prevent a slackening between the
ribs, and elasticity will be enhanced.
There is often confusion about how
to measure gauge over a ribbed fabric.
The best way to measure is based on how
you intend to use it. If you want a flat,
draping fabric, not a clingy one, let the
fabric lay the way you want to see it in the
garment. If you want a fabric that clings,
a
c

b
stretch the swatch slightly as it will

stretch across the body. Then take
yourgauge.
Yarns for Ribbed Patterns
Any rib pattern can be worked in

any yarn. Some combinations are more
successful than others, but its all based
on what you want in a fabric and what
fiber you would like to use. Sometimes
I prefer a crisp plied yarn for classic ribs
that hold their shape. However, some
wonderful drapey fabrics can be made
from soft unplied or loosely plied yarns
in any fiber. Wool in any form is reliably
elastic and will tend to help a ribbing
retain its inherent stretchy quality.

Ribbed fabrics can be steamed to loft

the fibers if the fibers can take itwools
and other animal fibers will respond best
to this treatment. I never touch an iron
to a ribbed fabric. I might steam a wide
rib pattern to open it up a little, but never
to flatten it. Once a rib is pressed, it will
never resume its ribbed quality again.
Ribbed Patterns in Garments

Once youve experimented with
ribbed fabrics, the next step is to use
them in garments. Everyone is

familiar with ribbing at edges, but
they are very successful as rich, flat overall
fabrics, too.
You cant just substitute a ribbed fabric
in a pattern without some adjustment.
Because of its compressed quality, ribbing
has many more stitches per inch than a flat
fabric. Add extra stitches to keep the width
of your garment the same.
Kimono garments, boxy but with a
traditional elegance, are perfect choices
for ribbed fabrics. A simple textured rib
worked in an elegant silk or luxury fiber
blend makes a garment of timeless appeal. See Sketch a.
The Poor Boy ribbed short capsleeved pullover of my youth was made
from a wide balanced rib that helped
the garment cling without shaping. This
garment will always be a style classica
success story for a ribbed sweater. See
Sketch b.
If you want to draw in an area of a
garment without complicated shaping,
turn to ribbed fabrics. A single horizontal
band of ribbing, of any height, worked
at the waistline will draw it in and fit the
garment more closely. You can have a
ribbed band of an inch or two or a wide
band extending from the high hip to just
under the bust. I like to work vertical columns of ribbing at the sides of a
sweater, too: this gives a garment a fitted
look without any increasing or decreasing. See Sketch c.
A sophisticated way to use ribbing
is to move an area of ribbing across the
fabric to form a sash-like motif. Work a
decrease before your designated ribbed
area, then work an increase after it. Do
this consistently over many rows, and
the area of ribbing will move across
the fabric. It is best to test first in your
swatch to decide the rate of the increase/
decrease action: doing it every right-side
row might create a too-steep angle that
would distort the garment. But every
sixth, eight, or tenth row might cause the
ribbing to move in a more graceful manner. See Sketch d.
Again, I encourage you to try the traditional ribbed patterns found in stitch
dictionaries and to try inventing your
own. Believe me, there are many ribbed
patterns yet to be designed.

GAUGE 18 sts and 26 rows = 4" in Stst;

NOTES
'Like all hand-dyed and kettle-dyed

yarns, Rittenhouse Merino 5-Ply varies in
color, both within the skein and from one
skein to another. This is the beauty of the
yarn, but it can also lead to unwelcome
surprises. To avoid this, use two skeins at
once, knitting two-row stripes alternately
from each skein and stranding the skein
not in use up the side of the work. It will
not be possible to use two skeins when
working the hood because both selvedges of the piece are visible at the hoods
front edges.

THE INS + OUTS OF
GRaFtiNG
a
top loop
by JONI CONIGLIO
Grafting (or Kitchener stitch, as it is

also called) is a seaming technique that
has more uses than many knitters realize.
While most tutorials describe it as a
technique for closing up the toes of socks,
grafting can be used on any seam where
live stitches could be joined and you dont
want the bulky seam that results from a
three-needle bind-off. For example, you
can use grafting to join two halves of a
scarf where each half has been worked
from the cast-on to the center; to join
the two short ends of a knitted rectangle
to form a cowl; or to reattach a part of
a garment (such as the lower portion of
a sleeve or sweater body) that has been
removed and altered in some way.
And grafting doesnt need to be
limited to stockinette stitch. It can be
used on almost any stitch pattern, from
ribbing and seed stitch to cables, lace, and

colorwork.
Because grafting is a seaming technique that mimics the structure of the
knitted fabricthe way the stitches
interlockit can be somewhat trickier to
master than other seaming methods. Not
only does it involve working with live
stitches, but the grafted row must also be
adapted to the particular stitch pattern
of the pieces that are being joined, which
requires a certain amount of knowledge
and skill. This is especially true as the
stitch patterns become more complex.
In order to fully understand how grafting works, its essential to understand how
knitted fabric works. The more you know
about stitch structure and how grafting
relates to it, the better you will be able to
graft any type of seam you encounter.

The Structure
of Knitted Fabric
During the knitting process, new
loops of yarn are drawn through existing
loops a.
Because of the serpentine structure
of knitted stitches, there are actually two
rows of loops on every knitted row, one
running along the top of the row (the
loops that sit on the needle), and another
running along the bottom of the row
(the loops formed by the running threads
between stitches)b.
Each new row of loops is drawn
through the top loops of the previous row.
In illustration c, one row in the center
has been highlighted. If you follow the
path the yarn takes through the loops
above and below it, beginning at the righthand side, you can see that the yarn passes
through the first half of the top loop of
the stitch in the row below, then through
the second half of a bottom loop in the
row above, through the first half of the
next bottom loop to the left, then finally
through the same top loop in the row
below as before. This sequence of four
passes is repeated for every stitch. Well
come back to these four steps later when
we talk about top-to-bottom grafting.
When you graft you use a tapestry
needle and a strand of yarn to follow the
same path that one row takes through the
loops above and below it, while simultaneously joining the row of loops below
the grafted row (the live loops on the
front needle) to the row of loops above it
(the live loops on the back needle).

Knitting Direction
When you graft the toes of socks, you
are joining the first half of the round to
the second half of the same round, which
means that you are joining the tops of
stitches on the front needle to the tops
of stitches on the back needle. This type
of grafting is called top-to-top grafting
(see opposite). The same type of grafting
can be used for shoulder seams, where
the last row of the front is grafted to the
last row of the back. The other type of
grafting is called top-to-bottom grafting: When you graft live stitches to a
provisional cast-on, you are joining the

Knitwise + Purlwise
These terms dont actually have anything to do with grafting. They refer
instead to the type of stitch that results when you are knitting (or purling),
using knitting needles. It might be more accurate to say instead, insert
the tapestry needle into the loop on the needle as if you were going to
knit (or purl) a stitch with a knitting needle, but that would make grafting
instructions, which tend to get very wordy anyway, even longer. Some
people dont like the use of these terms when it comes to grafting, but I
think that anything that makes it possible to describe the grafting process as succinctly as possible is a good thing, and I dont mind them. So,
when the instructions tell you to insert the tapestry needle into a loop
knitwise, it means from front to back, and purlwise means to insert the
tapestry needle into a loop from back to front. As the stitches face you
as they sit on the needle, the right side of the work will be facing you on
the front needle and the wrong side of the work will be facing you on
the back needle. Thus, on the front needle, knitwise means from right
side to wrong side, and purlwise means from wrong side to right side.
On the back needle, knitwise means from wrong side to right side, and
purlwise means from right side to wrong side.
tops of the live stitches on the front needle

to the bottom loops of the cast-on row
(it is the bottom loops that are placed on
the needle when you undo the waste yarn
from a provisional cast-on).
The Number of Loops

on the Needle
Illustration d shows a row with four
stitches.
Notice that while there are four top
loops, there are only three whole bottom
loops. Because bottom loops fall between
the top loops, there will always be one
fewer loop on the bottom row than on
the top row. However, the one-stitch
shortfall on the bottom row is made up
by a half loop at each end. So, while the
distribution of bottom loops is different from that of the top loops, the total
number of loops is actually the same,
since two of the bottom loops are half
loops. For example, in the case of the row
in the illustration: 4 top loops = + 3 +
bottom loops (see Dealing with Half
Loops, above).
Top-to-Top Grafting
Illustration e shows how the loops on
the back needle are oriented in relation to
the loops on the front needle during topto-top grafting. Both needles will have an
54 ||
knit.wear
equal number of stitches, but the stitches

on the back needle must shift a half stitch
to the left to be in the correct position for
grafting. Because the tops of the stitches
meet, the piece on the back needle will be
upside down.
Top-to-top grafting can actually be
thought of as two separate grafts, one
for the front needle and one for the back
needle, combined into one grafted row.
For example, illustration f shows how
knit stitches are grafted on the front
needle:
For each grafted knit stitch, the yarn
goes purlwise, then knitwise through
a loop on the needle. The chart shows
this in two dimensions, with a rectangle
representing each loop on the needle.
The letters K and P represent the path
the yarn takes through each loop, and an
orange arrow represents the graft.
The stitches on the back needle are
grafted in exactly the same way, with the
grafting yarn going through each loop
purlwise, then knitwise g. In the chart,
the rectangle representing the loop on the
needle is dotted (to differentiate it from
the front needle symbol) and the arrows
representing the grafting yarn are blue.
Because the stitches on the back needle
are oriented upside down in relation
to the stitches on the front needle, the
Dealing with
Half Loops
Finding the half loop
at the end where the cast-on
tail is located can be somewhat
tricky. I use two different methods for putting this half loop on
the needle, depending on the
selvedge stitches of the pattern
Im grafting. See pages 42 and
64 for photos and illustrations).
purlwise/knitwise path of the grafting

yarn on the back needle reads from left to
right, instead of right to left h.
The purple portion shows where the
front and back grafted rows overlap when
they are combined into one row i. The
chart shows that the purlwise/knitwise
path for each knit stitch follows the same
progression on each needle as before
(from right to left on the front needle and
from left to right on the back needle).
However, since the grafted row is worked
in only one direction (from right to left, if
youre grafting right-handed) the steps on
the back needle will end up being worked
backward. If you follow the arrow in the
chart from step to step, you may recognize the steps of traditional Kitchener
stitch (see Glossary).
Top-to-Bottom Grafting
In top-to-bottom grafting, the structure of the knitted fabric is followed more
closely than in top-to-top grafting (no
upside down and backward grafting!).
In fact, the grafted row will look exactly
like the highlighted row in illustration c
from our discussion of knitting structure.
When the loops are placed on the front
and back needles, they need to be set up
in the same way as the loops above and
below the highlighted row in the illustration, with a half loop at each end of the
back needle stitches j.
The grafting yarn will follow the
same path as the highlighted row in
illustration c through loops above and
below, with four passes for each stitch:
through the first half of the top loop of
the stitch in the row below, then through

the second half of a bottom loop in the
row above, through the first half of the
next bottom loop to the left, then finally
through the same top loop in the row
below as before k. For every loop below
the grafted stitch, there are two half
loops in the row above. The charts show
the four passes the grafting yarn would
take for every stitch in stockinette-stitch
grafting:

Grafting in Pattern
As we saw, in top-to-top grafting, one
of the pieces being joined (the piece on the
back needle) is upside down in relation to
the other piece (on the front needle).
Illustration l shows what happens
when k1, p1 rib is grafted top-to-top.
To graft a purl stitch, the yarn passes
knitwise/purlwise through a stitch (the
opposite of a knit stitchs pattern). In the
charts, purl stitch grafts are shaded to
differentiate them from knit stitches. The
stitches on the front needle begin with
a knit stitch and end with a purl stitch,
while the stitches on the back needle begin
with a purl stitch and end with a knit
stitch. The stitches on the back needle are
oriented upside down in relation to the
stitches on the front needle and shift a half
stitch to the left, producing a noticeable
jog in the pattern across the graftedrow.
Even the smallest change to the stitch
pattern will increase the complexity of
the grafted row. The four-step repeat of
traditional Kitchener stitch has become
an eight-step repeat.
In comparison, top-to-bottom grafting
in pattern is relatively simple m. All thats
really necessary to graft any pattern is to
know how to do four things:
1: Graft a knit stitch on the front needle:
Purlwise, knitwise through the same
stitch.

A chart symbol can be assigned to

each of the four steps above (see How to
Read Grafting Charts, below).
After that, grafting in pattern is just a
matter of mixing and matching the knit
and purl stitch grafts to suit whichever
pattern stitch you are grafting.
Because the grafted row is just like any
other row (with no half-stitch jog), you
can even make use of the stitch charts
from the patterns themselves for plotting
out the grafting n. A grafting row can be
superimposed onto any two rows of the
pattern chart (notice that I said two rows
of the pattern chart. This is an important point. A loop on the needle isnt
a stitch until yarn is drawn through it,
either with a knitting needle or tapestry
needle. This applies to the loops on the
front needle, as well as those on the back
needle. When you graft, you weave the
yarn through both sets of loops, creating
a pattern on both rows).

book excerpt
Mathew Gnagys new book Knitting Off The Axis

(Interweave, 2011) turns established knitting conventions upsidedown and sideways. Becca, one of our favorite projects in the
book, combines short-rows and sideways knitting for a jacket that
fits and flatters in a way that straight knitting only dreams of.

'The construction of this sweater is

seamless. The yoke is decreased on three
strategically placed rounds using centered double decreases. For a better fit,
three sets of two short-rows are added
to the back section, falling just before
each decrease round. Careful attention
to picking up the short-row wrap will
eliminate any holes and make these short
rows virtually invisible. Using a threeneedle bind-off on the underarm stitches
completes the seamless construction.

all paths
lead to yarn
a knitters world
Some yarn companies begin with a deep love
and understanding of wool, spinning, and yarn.
Others, such as Imperial Yarn, begin with no
knowledge of yarnjust a desire to honor the
land. by BETHANY LYTTLE
What do you get when you cross a

world-class fashion designer who cant
knit with an Oregon sheep rancher who
has no idea the needle-arts industry
exists? Untold confusion, a murky
business plan, and one of the fastestgrowing yarn lines on the market.
Wait, what?
Thats right. Using what rancher
Jeanne Carver calls seat-of-the-pants
logic and fashion designer Anna Cohen
refers to as intuition, the two joined forces to promote yarn not because they were
great knitters themselvesthey couldnt
purl to save their livesbut because they
recognized handknitting as a vital link in
sustainability.
Sunlight nurtures the grasses, which
nourish grazing livestock, whose wool
can be used to produce clothing. But its
the handswomens hands for the most
partthat bridge the natural progression
of interconnectedness from raw wool
to tailored garments, Jeanne explains.
Clothing is the direct result of spinning,
weaving, knitting, crocheting, and sewing.
And sustainable business practices honor
the hands that produce garments using
these methods, ensuring that the materials they work with are milled in ways that
are sustainable and ethical, too.
Just one thing. Jeanne and Anna were
not friends. Jeanne and Anna werent
even colleagues. Theyd never met. In fact,
theyd never heard of each other. Rather,
the two were living very different lives in
very different orbits.
Heres how it was.

Jeanne was living in Oregon, where
she co-owns Imperial Stock Ranch with
her husband, Dan. Sustainable ranching
practices had been an integral part of the
family operation since the 1800s, but
their focus had been on meat, not wool.
Elsewhere, in both the United States and
Europe, Anna was enjoying success in the
fashion industry.
But in 1999, Dan and Jeanne saw the
bottom drop out of the meat market. To
remain viable, they needed to find ways
to expand their reach. Sheep were already
a significant part of the ranch, so Jeanne

considered selling their wool. But when I

mentioned this to someone, the response
would be, Nobody cares about wool.
Thats when I thought to myself, Theres
something so terribly, terribly wrong with
that answer.
At the same time, Anna was finding
her creativity at increasing odds with
her ethics. Her education at the Fashion Institute of Technology, in New
York City, and her experiences in the
ready-to-wear fashion world had heightened her awareness of the widespread
environmental and human-rights issues
that plague the textile industry. In conversations with her mother, who had been
her mentor and guide for as long as she
could remember, Anna began to explore
her restlessness.
Meanwhile, literally back at the ranch,
Jeanne was taking things into her own
hands. She contacted several local fiber
artists and asked them if they would
be willing to use her wool to create
textiles. Before long, she was employing more than twenty local women who
worked from home, setting their own
rates. From this humble start, Jeanne

shows or marketing plansbrought her
textiles to market. And what began with
a single kit and some handknit locally
made apparel grew until she was noticed
by a major catalog retailer. A strong
partnership between the ranch and the
retailer ensued and lasted for four years.
Anna, having worked for top-shelf
labels both in the United States and Italy,
had completed her degree at FIT and
was ready to make her mark in a way that
finally felt true to her soul. I had grown
determined to separate myself from
mainstream practices, to use my creativity as a way to heal a hurting planet. And
through all of this, my mother was the
guru behind the scenes. Shed done her
masters thesis on the role of the arts in
sustainable cultures and had turned me
on to the Oregon Natural Step Network
(ORTNS), now the Natural Step USA,
a network organization that provides
a framework for businesses that want
to pursue and maintain sustainable
practices. So, when I agreed to put on a
fashion show with Natural Step, it was

with the condition that sustainability

would be the focus, Anna says. I had a
message. My only question was how to
deliver it without a microphone.
The answer? Eight models in dresses
fashioned from renewable bamboo, each
one scripted with a line of a poem Anna
had written:
Deep in the coal mines
Canaries gave warning
When to take action for survival
Everything is connected
Change, be strong
Find what you love
Love what you do
Listen for canaries.
Jeanne had made a practice of listening for decades. She heard the warning
when the catalog retailer shed been
working with changed hands and chose a
direction that wouldnt honor her vision
for a sustainable textiles line. She opted
out. So there I was. I still believed in our
textiles, but Im no designer, says Jeanne.
Im a rancher. I know landscape. I know

animals. Well, Id seen an article about
this Anna Cohen person in Oregon Business magazine. For some reason, Id kept
her picture near my desk for more than
a year. When things fell apart with the
catalog retailer, I thought, Maybe Anna
Cohen would want to use our fabric for
her winter collection. So I contacted her.
That was in 2008. Jeanne reached
Anna just as she had begun re-examining
her own career path. Id been living in
a constant whirlwind of success, she
says, looking back. Every step Id taken
since deciding to go to school had yielded
greater opportunities than I ever could
have hoped for. But I was in over my head.
I was losing track of the real me. So even
though she had started her own company
and was the darling of Elle, Womens Wear
Daily, the New York Times, and Vogue (to
name a few), she walked away.
When Jeannes message reached
me, something about it stood out. Ill be
honest. I dont quite know why. I wasnt
exactly sure what they wanted. But I

her ready-to-wear experiences with sweater knits

and woven textiles, Anna develops pieces with
unique constructions, surface textures, and silhouettes. Then, working with a team of experienced
handknitting designers, the designs are translated to
work with the heavier gauges and technical idiosyncrasies of handknitting. The final pieces are an
uncommon blend of ready-to-wear sophistication
and craftsman sensibilities.
knew it was a sustainable ranch. When

they invited me and my mother to the
ranch, we went for a visit. The entire time
we were there, the ranch was blowing my
mind. What they were doing was incredible. They are the keepers of this huge
amount of land and innumerable animals,
and I remember thinking: Whatever this
is, Im in service to it. Soon after, Anna
Cohen became the creative director of
Imperial Stock Ranch.
Before long, the two collaborated on a
ranch-to-runway show called the Imperial Collection by Anna Cohen. It took a
while for people, both in the industry and
beyond, to grasp that the ranch theme
was not some sort of gimmick. Were authentic, says Jeanne. We arent inspired
by the landscape. Were living in the
landscape. A line of apparel followed, but
eventually it became clear that the root
productsthe wool and the yarnwere
where the ranchs focus should be. So,
just over a year ago, Imperial Yarn was
born. And in only one year, yarn line sales
doubled, something Jeanne attributes to
forces far greater than the yarn itself.
When knitters use Imperial Yarn,
we want them to feel a sense of place,
rooted not only in the history of this

place but in their own role on the planet
and their own family histories. When
people come to our ranch, they think
theyre discovering us, but what theyre
really finding is their own families. Their
grandmothers had chickens. Their
grandmothers knew how to knit. When
they touch the yarn, their lives grow
richer, says Jeanne.
Although available for sale online and
in yarn shops, the most pleasing place
to buy the yarn is at the ranch. Located
along a gravel road, the headquarters
for yarn sales is in the historic Hinton
House, built in the 1800sa house that
had not been inhabited for forty-five
years until the Carvers restored it. Now,
every order gets packed in the historic
house, Jeanne says. And theres yarn
everywhere, including the dining area
... just ask one of the many groups that
come on tours. Its been so rewarding
to meet knitters face to face, she adds.
Their feedback is invaluable. They
influence what goes on at our meetings
and what we ask for at the mill. Even
the colors are changed according to what
they say they want. And when things get

How does Anna design for handknitting

without knitting herself? Drawing on
challenging, their encouragement and

support keep us going.
And going they are. This October, Portland Fashion Week will present a show
that includes handknit designs worked in
Imperial Yarn. And in doing so, the show
will break new ground.
The director was talking to us about
showrooms and orders, Anna recalls.
And I had to explain that you wont be
able to buy this knitwear in stores. Well
offer the patterns, but the customers will
knit the garments!
So, speaking of knitting, has Anna
learned to use yarn and needles herself?
Im getting there, she says. I have a
swatch of stitches thats about a foot and
a half long now. I think Im ready for a
project. Then she laughs. The problem
is, I havent a clue about how to read
patterns!

NOTES
'Blocks in the instructions refer to

the seed or stockinette units from the
Checkerboard chart. Each block consists
of 7 stitches and 10 rows.
'In order to keep the 7-stitch armhole borders intact, armhole shaping
is worked in the blocks adjacent to the
borders. For seed-stitch blocks, work the
decreases (either ssk or ssp to maintain
the pattern) and increases (M1 or M1P) at
the side of the block opposite the armhole border. For the stockinette-stitch
blocks, work increases and decreases just
before or after the marker.
'The stand-up collar is created by
slightly felting the fabric above the
armholes until the bound-off collar edge
is about 90% of the original lower body
width.
'The measurements shown on the
schematic are before felting the collar.

count number of stitches across
and number of rows down (including fractions of stitches and rows)
in 4" (10 cm). Repeat two or three
times on different areas of swatch

smaller needles. Repeat until gauge
is correct.
