Quilted Lattice Cowl by Debbie Seton

KnittingAngel

I had seen this on the sight. I thought how lovely, but itlooks so complicated. So I did some research on this patter [stitch]. I foundthis tutorial and thought I would share it. The stitch in this pattern is also used in  Purl Soho instructions for the lattice or trellis stitch.

Mind you I have not tried this pattern or stitch

The repeat of this pattern apears to be 6 stitches. Not sure if it has more or not. reading the pattern the repeat * is 6 stitches.

Judging by the comments on the Purl Soho scarf pattern page, you might not immediately see how to get those strands laying across the front of the work.  It really is as simple as it sounds – rather than having the yarn at the back of the work as you usually do when doing the knit stitch, you bring it to the front, before you start slipping the stitches and then take it back to the back before you knit the next stitch in the pattern, which fixes the strand in place at 6 stitch intervals, like this:

        In the beginning, take your time on the rows where you add the strands to the work (rows 2 and 6) and make sure that you're adjusting the stitches and the strands sitting on the right hand needle so that the strands are at the same tension as the stitches in the Goldilocks fashion – not too tight, not too loose, but just right
        Row 4 was the first time I felt a bit stumped, so these photos will walk you through the things that could be confusing.  So here we are, coming up to a stitch that we have to knit 'under' (in the pattern, abbreviated as k1uls)

So we slip our right needle under the strand / thread


Push the right needle into the stitch as usual


Then knit it and take it off the left needle as usual


And carry on knitting



The beginning and end of row 6 was also less than straitforward at first.  After you've made the purl at the beginning, keep the yarn to the front and slip the next 3 stitches before taking the yarn to the back of the work, ready to knit the next stitch



Then when you get to the last 6 stitches, slip 3 with the yarn in front and keeping it there, purl the purl stitch



This is how it looks after you've purled


Next, how were you supposed to work those beginning and end strands you'd laid down in row 6 when you got to row 8?  The answer is: in exactly the same way as any other 'knit under' stitch, you just need to knit under the last knit stitch before the purl, like this



So it looks like this



I have not Done this,It still intimidates me. I wish i could of found a video.
I hope this was helpful.
