Embossed Bell Motif

Yarn: Paton Classic Wool
Needles: 5mm  US 8
Gauge: 14 st & 26 rows = 4 inches
Pattern: Embossed Bell Motif
Stitch Count Repeat: ” Multiple of 8 stitches” according to book.  I cast on 32 st (+ garter edge) & got 7  bells, so I would say multiple of 4 stitches + 4.

Page: 138
Comments, if any: Used ”Backwards E” cast on for bell. t I think this is best as a single row of bells, possibly start 2nd row with purl 6 (or purl 2) instead of purl 4  to offset motifs by half a repeat.

Lace Rib

September 7, 2010 – jprater28209

Yarn:  Stitch Nation by Debbie Stoller, Bamboo Ewe, 55% viscose from bamboo and 45% wool

Needles: 3.25 mm, US 3
Gauge:  25 sts and 30 rows / 4 inches, washed, unstretched
Pattern: Lace Rib
Stitch Count Repeat:  Multiple of 5 stitches plus 2

Book: A Treasury of Knitting Patterns
Page: 48

Comments:  This is still a very loose rib.  I would recommend it as a stitch pattern for the body of a garment, not the edges.  The back of the Lace Rib is also very attractive and has a severe vertical effect.  I think it too would make a good garment body pattern. (See WS photo below)

Mock Cable Rib

September 7, 2010 – jprater28209

Yarn: Plymouth Galway
Needles: 3.25 mm, US 3
Gauge: 28 sts and 32 rows / 4 inches
Pattern: Mock Cable Rib
Stitch Count Repeat: Multiple of 5 stitches plus 2
Book: A Treasury of Knitting Patterns
Page: 42

Comments: This pattern has only one fiddly row in four and is faster than an actual cable rib, yet captures a similar look. The back side of the Mock Cable Ribbing is a 2×3 rib with a backslash in the purl section which I quite like. (See WS photo below)
