Standards and Guidelines for Crochet and Knitting. The publishers, fiber, needle and hook manufacturers, and yarn members of the Craft Yarn Council have worked together to set up a series of guidelines and symbols to bring uniformity to yarn, needle and hook labeling, and to patterns, whether they appear in books, magazines, leaflets or on yarn labels.
Our goal is to make it easier for industry manufacturers, publishers and designers to prepare consumer-friendly products and for consumers to select the right materials for a project and complete it successfully. We urge manufacturers, publishers, and designers to adopt these guidelines. Downloads of the graphic symbols are available at www.YarnStandards.com at no charge. Amazon. Open source digital knitting.

It can be knit up quite fast on larger needles and makes a dense, fluffy fabric. Perhaps one of the reasons we don’t see it more is because most patterns don’t have a nice edging and the stitch can tend to curl as stockinette stitch does but less dramatically. I wanted to come up with the perfect herringbone stitch scarf that would work well with winter coats, fall sweaters, and would look lovely both dressed up or worn casually. Grey has been majorly in fashion this year so it makes sense that I would choose a grey heather yarn to really show the dimension and beauty of the stitch.
Any heather, hand-dyed, or dynamic colored of yarn would look amazing in this stitch. The yarn I used for this scarf is linked in the images below. Learning a new stitch can always be a bit scary so I have made a photo tutorial to follow along with when begin knitting. CLICK HERE to Download Pattern. Seaming. You can choose from many types of seaming techniques, depending on your personal preference.
Each method has its own characteristics and may require different tools. It is best to use your knitting yarn to sew the pieces together, unless you have used a novelty or untwisted, roving yarn. In that case, sew the seams with a flat, firm yarn in a compatible color. Be sure that it has the same washability as your knitting yarn. Block your pieces before you sew them together to make the edges smoother and easier to seam. Nundle Woollen Mill.
