How to knit The Ravisher … Part I

Before Commencing…

– Finished length (approx.)*

Small     65 cm/26”            Med      100cm / 40”        Large     133 cm / 53”

* According to our trusty Rabone Chesterman No. 1380 boxwood Rule

 

– Yarn

Main yarn

Bulky / #6 Super Bulky   200 gr                    Qty:       1 (1, 2)

We used: Nundle Collection 20 Ply 200gr – Primrose 100% Pure New Wool

– Needles

Size        10mm / US 15    80cm/32” circular needles

We used: Knitpro “Nova Metal” interchangeable needle tips & Knitpro cable

For this type of wool, these needles were great as the wool slid easily, important when you’re working with large stitches

– Notions

Fringe yarn

DK / #3 Light Worsted    50gr       Approx. 10 m / 11 yds

We used: Patons Ostrich 50gr – Gold Colour 736 100% polyester

You could use any fine fancy yarn, depending on the look you want.

Other

Small crochet hook (for the fringe – no crocheting involved!)

Tapestry needle

A steampunkesque brooch / ornament – we used a lovely brass & glass “coach light”, which was from a brass key ring found in a boating store.

Matching buttons (optional – we used no buttons, but some people might prefer a couple of buttons to keep the front together)

– Gauge/Tension

10 stitches and 13 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm (4” x 4”)

Adjust needle size to obtain correct tension if necessary
