Crosshatch

CONSTRUCTION

• The scarf or wrap is worked from end to end with two weights of yarn used alternately—one strand of worsted weight and one strand of fingering weight.

GAUGE

• 13 stitches & 40 rows = 4″ in Brioche Stitch with Size A needle(s), after stretch-blocking

Note that for Brioche Stitch, each elongated stitch in a column of knit stitches represents two rows; when you count these it will appear that 20 rows = 4″

NEEDLES

Size A (for Brioche Fabric)

• One 32″ circular needle in size needed to obtain gauge listed
• Suggested Size: 4 mm (US 6)

Size B (for Tubular Cast On; optional)

• One 32″ circular needle one size smaller than Size A
• Suggested Size: 3¾ mm (US 5)

A circular needle is required in order to slide the piece back and forth while working the stitch pattern.

Note: if you have adjusted the needle size to obtain the correct gauge, it may or may not be necessary to make a matching adjustment to the needle size used for Tubular Cast On due to variance in individual work. You may wish to test your chosen cast-on method on your swatch.
