Uchiwa Patterns

Intermediate: sideways knit, pattern reading. A stylish oversized tee is a summer staple, perfect to pop on anytime. This version, worked in the NORO Uchiwa, is knit from one side seam to the other. Garter edges play off the stockinette body, which features subtle shaping. A simple purl ridge delineates the center front and back.

1-Page 52, 3rd column, 3rd Paragraph, under FRONT-Shape Neck:

After the Inc row (RS)
Delete “Work inc row.”
Page 53, 1st column, after the second Dec row (RS)

1-Seaming - this yarn has a thick/thin quality. I chose a section of yarn that was all “thin”, and used it for seaming. I didn’t have any trouble with the “thin” section. It’s the “thick” section that might give trouble -tending to pull apart.
2-Shoulder seaming: If you have not seamed garter to garter, do a a search to see some videos of this technique.

Intermediate

The versatile tabard, usually reserved for cooler weather, makes a transition to summer when worked in a cotton-based yarn, NORO Uchiwa. The simple front and back show off the yarn’s coloring. Seed stitch finishes the edges, and seed-stitch tabs, three on each side, hold the pieces together. Just two to three balls are enough for all sizes.
