STRIPING (SURFACE CHAINS)

Front and Back Panels are worked the same.

With panel facing right side up, sc rows going up and down, with 2nd color yarn, create a slip knot.

Insert hook from front to back into the 1st sp of Row 3 (9). With the hook, grab the slip knot from underneath the panel; pull through the same sp.

Insert hook into the next sp (above); grab yarn, pull through the same sp; pull through the loop on the hook to create a ch. (The yarn needle points to the correct sp.)

Repeat into ea sp to the end of the row (top/shoulder). Cut off yarn leaving a tail to weave through the back (along the black st’s).

Work the 2nd stripe in Row 23 (29).

Work the 3rd stripe in Row 45 (51).

Work the 4th stripe in Row 63 (71).

Turn panel (front facing up) so the sc rows are situated as you worked the rows (shoulder/neck is now to the left).

Work the 1st stripe in the sp between the 16th and 17th (17th/18th) st’s. Work the 2nd stripe in the sp between the 17th and 18th (18th/19th) st’s (counting from the 1st st from the 1st stripe; not from the beginning of the row).

Work the 3rd stripe in the sp between the 18th and 19th (18th/19th) st.

SLEEVES striping

NOTE: See note below in SEAMS section. These are the stripes that would need adjusting if they are not lining up with the body stripes.

With the sleeve panel right side up; working with the sc rows going up and down, work the 1st stripe into Row 13 (6) and the 2nd stripe into Row 33 (47).

Turn panel so the sc rows are going across. Photo above.

Work the 1st stripe between the 14th and 15th (18/19) st’s.

Work the 2nd stripe between the 18th and 19th (19/22) st’s (counting from the 1st stripe, not from the beginning of the row).

SEAMS

NOTE for Size Lg/XL: Prior to seaming, ensure the stripes are lining up with the sleeve and body. Rework the sleeve stripes if needed.

With wrong sides facing you, place front and back panels together.

Seam shoulders using yarn needle, length of yarn and whip stitch.

With wrong sides facing you, situate the sleeve with rows going across (not up and down); mark center of sleeve with st marker and position at shoulder seam. Use stitch marker to mark the center. Using yarn needle and length of yarn, use whip st to seam sleeve to body. Cut off yarn.

Using same method, seam at side edges working from bottom, up along the edge and along the bottom of sleeve. Ensure the stripes of each panel are lining up.

COLLAR

NOTE: The beginning ch determines the depth of the collar. Adjust as needed.

With right side up, attach yarn into the center of the back neck with a ch. Work 9 more chains.

Sc in 2nd ch from hook and ea ch across. 9 sc’s.

*Sk the next sp of the neck edge, sl st into the next sp. Turn the sc strip to face you.

Work a sc in ea sp. 9 sc’s. Ch 1. Turn

Sc in ea sp*.

Repeat from * to * around the neck edge.

NOTE: You may sk additional sp’s along the neck edge as necessary to avoid a collar that is too full and bunched up.

End with the last st being worked in the neck edge into the beginning ch.

To seam the two edges of the collar, with yarn still on the hook, turn so you are working on the wrong side. Use sl st’s to seam the two edges. Cut off yarn.

Weave in all tails.
