BEAUTIFUL CUSHIONS FOR THE HOME.....MADE EASY!!!!
this pattern is for the knitmaster 321
Right here we go,this pattern is to make these cushions....and they are alot easier than they look....so take a deep breathe and go for it!!!!
Right....
cast on 104 stitches with waste yarn,and hang comb and comb weights...(tw0 large should do nicely1!!)set the tension to 8/8 on both dials....the rissel levers should be at = on both sides the side levers should be at the dome settings and the bottom two levers should be at = and the botton numbers should be sitting at 1/1.the main dial should be set to "O"(ordinary stitch)
knit 1/1 rib for 40 rows,transfer stitches onto main needle bed and change the tension to 9.25 and plain knit for 48 rows....Insert punch pattern card two rows before the number 1...
and plain knit two more rows,
insert new colour yarn into the yarn break at the front of carriage and the main colour at the front of the carriage in the yarn holder holding to the right hand side.
change the side levers to traingle,russel levers to -/- and dial switch to "F".and punchcard reader to forward.
push the first needle nearest to the carriage so that the yarn is just over the latch and knit to end
of row.you will notice that some needles engage the main colour and some will engage the contrast colour to create the pattern,
KNIT FOR 135 ROWS.
reset the machine for ordinary knit and knit for 50 rows....
transfer every other stitch to other needle bed and engage the other carriages ready for rib.....rib for 40 rows and cast off....
n.b i always knit for 10 rows with waste yarn and just run the stitches off the machine without casting off.....place the stitches onto a needle and cast off manually.......
turn the peice inside out and sew the sides together allowing for the ribs to overlap,to create a pillowcase effect.....
turn the right way around and fill in with a pillow and use straight away!!!!
