Fenchurch is inspired by modern urban architecture. I have used wrapped stitch ladders to create bold lines. I love the way the wrapped stitch sections change the shape of the cast on edge at the beginning of the panels. The textured sections are knitted in moss stitch. To keep the tension of the sections even, the moss stitch section is worked in short rows.

The optional belt features two wrapped stitch ladders with a moss stitch centre section. The cuffs are made in a similar way and added after the sleeves are complete.

How exactly do you do the W3 stitch?
ReplyDeleteHello Carrie,
DeleteThanks for getting in touch.
W3 is my abbreviation for 'wrap the next 3 stitches'. I use this technique on right side rows to make the long lines of wrapped stitches in my Fenchurch Cardigan.
The W3 wraps do not involve turning the work or slipping the stitches between the needles. This W3 wrap makes a loop of yarn around a group of 3 stitches.
The way I have knitted the W3 instruction is as follows:
Work to the W3 instruction in the pattern.
1. Insert the needle from front to back in the space between the 3rd and 4th stitch on the left hand needle.
2. Pull a loop of yarn through the space and put this loop onto the left hand needle.
3. Knit the loop and the first stitch on the left hand needle together.
4. Knit the next two stitches.
On wrong side rows, purl these 3 stitches.
Hope this information helps. Please let me know how you get on.
