In yesterday’s post I knit up a swatch using Red Heart Super Saver Fair Isle, and the flared diamond motif. It’s amazing to be able to make a knitted garment look like Fair Isle without the complicated work.
It’s so exciting to bring you today a lace panel that features lace eyelets, twisted stitches, and small cables knit in Red Heart Super Saver Chunky. Gone are the days where lace motifs are only knit with lace-weight yarn!
This teal color of Red Heart Super Saver Chunky is one of 19 brilliant options.
I used columns of twisted stitches to isolate each panel of either lace or small cables. I thought that with chunky yarn, this would help define each textured area.
For these columns of twisted stitches, I only knit in the back loop on right-side rows, but to really make those columns pop, purling in the back loop on the corresponding stitches on the wrong side rows really helps.
stitches and abbreviations
k = Knit.
k-tbl= Knit through the back loop.
k2tog = Knit 2 stitches together.
p = Purl.
ssk = Slip 2 stitches knitwise, then knit slipped stitches together.
s2tog-k1-p2sso = Slip 2 stitches together knitwise, knit 1, then pass slipped stitches over.
tuck = K1 into next st, but 3 rows below, yo, knit into the same st, slide st 3 rows above insertion point off needle, too.
yo = Wrap the working yarn over the right needle, from front to back (counter-clockwise).
½ LPC = Slip 1 stitch to cable needle and hold in front; p2; k1 from cable needle.
½ RPC = Slip 2 stitches to cable needle and hold in back; k1; p2 from cable needle.

Join me tomorrow, I’ll be playing with Red Heart Super Saver Ombre.
