A chevron motif, created by increasing and decreasing, weaves its way between stylized flower motifs inspired by Scandinavian textiles. The resulting fabric has a slightly embossed brocade-like surface.

Techniques include stranded knitting, increasing and decreasing.

I used simple color combinations in the samples to illustrate the designs as clearly as possible.

You can transform the designs with variegated or heathered yarns and/or more subtle or dramatic colors.

The samples were knit on 3.5mm/US4 needles with MC Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino 606 Blue & CC Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino 102 beige. Repeat size: approximately 11x8ins/28x20cm

 

This is one of a number of charts for stranded knitting patterns, which are available from my Ravelry store.

The charts can be used - individually or in combination - to design your own unique and individual scarves, shawls, throws, afghans, blankets, garments, hats, cushions, borders, bags … or whatever you want.

Scandinavian is also available as a bundle with Victorian Raffia, a double-knit variation of Scandinavian, for €9.00 (regular price €13.00). Use the code Scandinavian at checkout or click here to add the bundle to your cart. Click here for more information on Victorian Raffia.

The pdf includes three charts, images of different colorways and a variation of the pattern with a similar structure.

 

Scandinavian is also available here as part of Experimental/Ornamental Collection.
