Hairpin Lace: Casting on and the Basic Stitch. Tubular knitting. 'Dutch knitting' or Shepherd's crochet. This is a technique which I learned from my mother who refers to it as 'knitting'.

'Dutch knitting' or Shepherd's crochet

The technique does not actually use normal knitting needles, not does it use a conventional crochet hook, but a differently shaped, wooden one she calls a 'pen'. I've written this tutorial on request of many avid knitters and crocheters on BurdaStyle and elsewhere who want to learn this variation. A lively debate on the technique and its origins can be found on www.ravelry.com (search for 'Dutch Knitting Pen') where it was established that the technique is probably neither Dutch nor knitting. 5 in Paris pattern by Anna Peck.

5 in Paris pattern by Anna Peck

This pattern is translated into French & Spanish! Please note that in the original pattern, it has an almost 1/2 arm-long sleeve, and has thick stripes running along the sweater…but like in the many projects that has been done…there is so many different things you can do to this sweater to make it unique!
