Gauge: ~4.5 stitches 5 rows per inch Stitch Explanation: st(s)stitch(es) St ststockinette stitch rndround Notes: When working stripes in the round, a jog will form at the join since knitting in the round is essentially a spiral, and the end of a round is a stitch above the beginning of the round. There are many methods available for correcting this, or you can simply live with it. I was not satisfied with any of the methods, so I won't bother to include any here. Nevertheless, some people hate seaming (myself included), so I went ahead and made this pattern workable in the round. I should note, however, that even without working a seam, you will still lack a smooth inside of the armwarmer since the color changes create what feels like a seam.
Cast on 35 sts with black. Divide over 3 dpns and join, being careful not to twist work. Place marker to indicate end of rnd. Work in St st, switching colors every other rnd, for about 8 inches (about 27 stripes, with the last stripe black), cast off with black. Weave in loose ends; block. | ||||||||||
