About The Colour Blockade is a colourful top down knit sweater. Inspired by the 80’s ski jackets, this knitted sweater is a creative outlet to show off your colour skills. Choose different coloured yarns to create your own knitted look, or keep it simple with some pops of colour. Colour Blockade Knit Up Zip Up is worked from the top down, beginning with the collar, and then working the yoke down to the armholes. The fronts and back are then worked separately before joining at the underarms to continue the rest of the body. The hem is worked with an elastic installed, giving it that oversized puffer look that is popular with sports jackets. Sleeves are picked up and worked in the round to the cuffs, where the elastic is installed into the cuff. The zipper is sewn in from the collar and stitched down to complete the garment. This pattern comes with a PDF sheet attached to figure out your colour work beforehand. There is also a guide to using stitch fiddle to create your design.

The thistle has been the national emblem of Scotland for centuries. It is featured in many Scottish symbols and even on UK currency. According to one of the best-known thistle legend, in the mid 13th century, Viking forces landed on the coast of Scotland. During the night raid, one of their soldiers’ bare feet came down on a Scottish thistle. His shout warned the Scots who defeated the enemy at the Battle of Largs, thus saving Scotland from Norsemen’s invasion. The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle is the Scottish order of knighthood. Its modern period dates from King James VII of Scotland (James II of England), who revived it in 1687. As with many orders of chivalry, its origins lie much further back in time. The Order’s primary emblem is the thistle, the national flower of Scotland. The motto is “Nemo me impune lacessit” (Latin for “No one provokes me with impunity”). The same motto appears on the Royal Coat of Arms of the United Kingdom for the use in Scotland and on some pound coins. This prickly purple flower itself, the legends associated with it, along with a large number of thistle drawings, ornaments, and jewelry inspired me to create this shawl. I offer you a triangular Fair Isle shawl. It is knitted with a steek, in the round from bottom tip up. When your shawl has reached the desired length, the steek should be reinforced and cut open; folded and tucked down facing will cover the cut edges. There is a section of short rows, where you will have to work your Fair Isle pattern flat, knitting it on the right side of the work and purling on the wrong side. In knitting, a steek itself is a group of extra 6-12 sts that are for future cutting. The first and the last stitches of the steek (the edges of the steek) are always worked with the same color (I prefer to use a background color) as it makes it easier to pick up stitches for the finishing along these lines. The stitches in between the edges are worked in a ‘chequerboard’ pattern that allows them to stick better to each other. Recommended yarn: Pure sheep wool 100g/350-400 m (fingering/sock weight). You will need yarn of two different colors - main color (MC) for the background, and contrast color (CC) for the pattern - approximately 350-400 g of each color. I recommend to choose two solid colors; as, in my opinion, variegated yarn would not work well for this design. However, you may try and find your own way. For the embroidered flowers in the center element of the shawl, I used leftover bits of Knoll Soft Donegal tweed - it took less than 10 g. You may use mouline embroidery thread, or any other yarn or thread of suitable weight and color. Optionally, you may incorporate beads in your knitting. You want to be absolutely certain that your yarn wouldn’t bleed! Check the color fastness of the yarn with a swatch. Needles and Notions: Knitting needles 2.5 - 3.5 mm (double-pointed and circular); spare needles/cables; stitch markers; scissors; 1.75 mm crochet hook; tapestry needle; beads (optional). Difficulty level - high. Skills required: Knit and purl in Fair Isle (stranded colorwork) technique, both flat and in the round; short rows knitting; pick up stitches along edges; picot edge knitting; embroidery on knitting. For those who are new to steeking: you may be frightened by the idea of cutting a knitted fabric. But when everything has been done right, you will be excited with the result! Translated by Vera Tanabe http://www.ravelry.com/people/eponamama https://www.facebook.com/vera.tanabe [email protected] Цветок чертополоха является национальным символом Шотландии и изображается, в частности, на денежных знаках. Согласно преданию, в XIII веке прибрежные поселения скоттов страдали от набегов викингов. Однажды удалось избежать неожиданного ночного нападения благодаря тому, что викинги босиком зашли в заросли шотландского чертополоха, чем выдали себя. Древнейший и благороднейший орден Чертополоха (The Most Ancient and Most Noble Order of the Thistle) — рыцарский орден, связанный с Шотландией. Хотя его изначальная дата основания точно не известна, Яков VII (король Шотландии) (также известный как король Англии Яков II) учредил современный орден в 1687. Основная эмблема ордена — чертополох, национальный символ Шотландии. Девиз ордена Nemo me impune lacessit (с лат. — «Никто не тронет меня безнаказанно»); этот же девиз стоит на Королевском гербе и на некоторых фунтовых монетах. Покровитель ордена — святой Андрей. И сам цветок, и легенды, с ним связанные, и огромное количество рисунков, украшений и орнаментов с чертополохом, вдохновили меня на создание этой шали. Я предлагаю вашему вниманию треугольную шаль, выполненную в технике разрезного жаккарда. Связана она по кругу, от верхушки треугольника к основанию, со стиками, затем полотно разрезано и обвязано каймой по периметру. Есть участок, связанный укороченными рядами, в котором жаккардовый узор вывязывается как в лицевых, так и в изнаночных рядах. Стик - это участок шириной в 6-12 петель, по которому впоследствии будет сделан разрез. Кромки стиков (первая и последняя петли) вяжутся одним и тем же цветом, я предпочитаю цвет фона. По этой кромке потом легко набрать петли для отделки. А внутри нити разных цветов чередуются в шахматном порядке для лучшего сцепления друг с другом. Рекомендована пряжа: 350 - 450 метров в 100 граммах. Необходимые инструменты: спицы № 2,5 - 3,5, чулочные и круговые, дополнительные спицы или лески, маркеры, ножницы, крючок № 1,75, гобеленовая игла. Материалы. В качестве пряжи я рекомендую использовать овечью шерсть без примесей, 350 - 450 метров в 100 гр. Понадобится пряжа двух цветов: для фона и рисунка. Я рекомендую использовать две однотонных пряжи, мне кажется, что секционноокрашенная пряжа в данном случае будет неуместной. Но вы, конечно, можете попробовать. Обратите внимание на стойкость окрашивания пряжи. Можно при желании ввязать в полотно бисер, но это не обязательно. Приблизительный расход: по 350 - 400 грамм пряжи каждого цвета. Для вышивки цветов в центральном сегменте узора я использовала остатки тонкого твида KNOLL Soft Donegal, мне понадобилось меньше 10 грамм. Можно использовать мулине или любую другую подходящую по толщине и цвету нить. Уровень сложности высокий. Для успешного выполнения необходим навык вязания жаккарда по кругу и в лицевых и изнаночных рядах, вязания укороченных рядов, а также подъема петель и вывязывания обвязки с зубчатым краем. Также навык вышивки по петлям. Для тех, кто впервые решил попробовать связать такую шаль. Многих пугает необходимость разрезать полотно. Но, если все сделано правильно, результат вас непременно порадует и вдохновит.
