I went to a second hand clothing event in February and picked up a knitted shrug.
What caught my eye was the simple design which I just knew I had to try myself.
Tonight I chose this Singer Punch Card No. 4 in a tuck setting using some lovely wool yarn that I was generously gifted Christmas 2022. PROJECT is finished. Ravelry link.
This project spoke to me and I felt impelled to create and gift it. I hope she likes it (she did).
I first open cast on with 110 stitches using scrap yarn then setup the punch card No. 4 with the mast tension at 3 and the carriage tension dial at 4. I worked 1120 rows and added scrap to then take the project off the machine. I then joined the two ends using kitchener from the Purl side (I find that easier) see my video on doing that. Once done the end joining I laid it flat and partially joined with crochet, the edge seam (allowing for an open I joined edge on both ends - about 6 inches for arm clearance).
I hand washed and salad spun (then towel squished) this project and the next day it was ready for gifting.
This item is a long rectangle folded in half so that the joins are mid project. One long side is joined with space open for human arms. The garment is approximately 38cm wide (x 2) and 88cm long (x 2).
