Intarsia Knitwear: Create Unique Patterns

Intarsia Knitwear: Create Unique Patterns

“Congratulations! You have now come to the end of this Domestika course. Thank you for your participation and I hope you enjoyed practicing the intarsia knitting technique with me. I'm really looking forward to your project! Let me remind you again that this is not about following my template to the letter. Rather, I hope that you will let your own inspiration run free and design your very own knitted top. Before we say goodbye, I would like to summarize for you the most important steps to complete your project in as general a way as possible. Developing the subject Think of a motif for your top and how you want to position these elements on it. You can create a mood board and design your own pattern with paper collages.

Select material and colors Decide on a material and the colors you want to use. Be inspired by the colors of your collage or combine them with new shades. To get a more accurate idea of what the color combinations will look like in the knitted top, it helps to make color charts! Prepare the knitting chart Print out the knitting chart in your size and color it in with your own motif. Keep in mind that the front and back of your top will be sewn together and that the straps must fit on both sides. Get knitting! Knit the front and back first and then the straps of your top. Follow your knitting chart row by row and note the number of stitches. Remember to count your stitches before each color change. Finishing the knitted top Sew the sides of your top together and secure the straps at the back. Finally, sew up all thread ends and wash your finished knitted top. Show us your finished knit top! Simply click on "Create your project". Please don't forget to document the progress of your project and upload not only the result but also pictures of your process in the forum. You are also welcome to add a short explanation to each picture. I'll be checking the forums as often as I can to provide you with advice and feedback. But also exchange ideas with other course participants so that we can all learn from each other! I hope you enjoy knitting!”

“final project It's the end of our course and I wanted to take some time for the lessons we've covered and summarize the new skills we learned. First I told you about me and my artistic path. I have shared my inspirations with you and also told you how nature inspires me. I also talked to you about sustainability, how important it is to me and how I express it in my work. Before we started knitting, I showed you some yarns and described their properties, to then decide which one for our project is most suitable. With the choice of material we can optically, but also affect haptically. For my...”
