I cut a straight line - it opens by ...Yes they are. I cut a straight line - it opens by itself, and that's what gave the extra length I needed. What I actually did was remove the two outer thirds of a single row of knitting. First I used double-pointed needles to get hold of the stitches on the rows above and below, as far in from the edge as I wanted to go. Then I cut the row between - just through one stitch -and took the yarn out of those stitches, working from the edge towards the centre. This gave me nice long ends to work in at the centre, to reinforce the bottom of each V, and free stitches on the double-pointed needles, which I put on a crochet chain to keep till I was ready to pick them up with the long circular and knit the ribbing. I made increases in the ribbing at the corners of each opening, but no decrease in the V. That helps the shape.<BR/><BR/>The basic shape, before doing that, is the same as <A HREF="http://www.knitty.com/issuefall05/PATTlacey.html" REL="nofollow">this pattern on Knitty</A>.msHedgehoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05719152265628932122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-5097886212306110262008-06-10T22:32:00.000+01:002008-06-10T22:32:00.000+01:00That is lovely.

I'd like to knit one, though I might modify the <BR/>sleeves to be fitted three-quarter length without a gathered cuff. <BR/>Are the peaks in the rib at the back where you cut into the fabric? That was brave. How did you stop the stitch at the apex of the peak from unravelling? Also, did you cut a straight line into the knitting or did you excise a triangular wedge, which is how it looks in the finished garment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-77463057521079191402008-05-20T00:23:00.000+01:002008-05-20T00:23:00.000+01:00You knew exactly what I meant and was smart enough...You knew exactly what I meant and was smart enough to look up what Hedgehog is en francais.<BR/><BR/>Sounds like a lovely label, destined for the tango fashion runway.tangobabyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01288974184200212536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8391293127288856260.post-66255049705453187802008-05-19T21:36:00.000+01:002008-05-19T21:36:00.000+01:00Mme L'Hérisson?
