Good to know

Strokkur — your questions, answered

Can I still buy the colours in the photo?
Yes. All four are still made by Ístex: oatmeal heather (0885), blush (9128), grenadine (9171) and dark wine (9020), all Einband.
How big is it?
One size: 52 cm round and 44 cm long. The gauge is given as one 12-stitch pattern repeat to 6 cm on 4 mm needles; the 108 stitches are nine repeats, about 54 cm at that gauge (our calculation).
How much yarn do I need?
One 50 g ball of each colour, as the pattern lists. Oatmeal heather is used most: 10 of the 19 waves, plus the rounds at the start and the last round. Blush, grenadine and dark wine make three waves each.
How is the wave pattern knitted?
From a small chart, 12 stitches by 7 rounds. On rounds 2 and 5 you knit 1, make a yarn over, knit 4, knit 3 together through the back loops, knit 4 and make another yarn over, so the stitch count stays the same. Rounds 1, 3, 4 and 6 are knitted and round 7 is purled (our reading of the chart).
What is the colour order?
A, B, A, C, A, D three times over, and a last A — oatmeal heather, blush, oatmeal heather, grenadine, oatmeal heather, dark wine and so on: 19 waves. Then one more round in oatmeal heather before binding off loosely.
How do I wash it?
The pattern says: rinse by hand in lukewarm water, lay flat to dry and smooth it gently into shape.
How do I get the pattern?
The PDF is emailed to you right after purchase. Nothing is posted. It is in English and has 4 pages: the cover photo; a page with a small photo, the materials, size, gauge, instructions, the chart and its key; a blank page; and Ístex’s back cover.
