CONSTRUCT WEAVE is worked in one piece. Four different yarn colours are used to create this fabulously long and swooshy wrap. A traditional and quite meditative pattern; herringbone (named because of its visual similarity to the bone structure of a herring fish) will keep you interested. Two herringbone beginning and end sections frame the central slipped-stitches section. The herringbone technique creates a beautiful, ‘broken’ zig-zag design.

This is a great project to begin your knitting journey but also interesting enough for the more experienced knitter to enjoy. The pattern is size-adaptable so can be knitted wider or longer (two versions; longer and shorter instructions are given – 4 x 4ply and 2 x 4ply). Light and easy to wear.

I suggest you dry flat. Do not pull too rigorously, wet thoroughly, lie out on a towel to dry naturally.

Blocking is the process of wetting your final piece of knitting to set the finished size and even-out the stitches. You can use any surface to block your garments, just be sure that your knitted piece lies flat and fully dries so that its shape sets. I advise using blocking wires to keep side-edges + top and bottom edges straight.
