Today we have a combination of two of my favourite things - knitting and tartan! Ive often wondered if its possible to knit a tartan pattern, but as Ive yet to conquer fair isle or intarsia type knitting I figured it would be a while before I was able to try it. That was until I saw a fab tutorial for knitted tartan, using a line of crochet to create the vertical lines. Genius.
I had to have a go for myself and without any firm ideas of what I wanted to do with knitted tartan and with a long list of projects that need to come first, I just used a few bits of leftover wool to try a little sampler.
Its a really clever technique - you knit changing colour for your horizontal lines then where youd like the vertical lines simply work a purl stitch on each row. Youll end up with a gutter running through the knitting, which you then work a row of crochet slip stitches along.
You can see a full tutorial here.
What would you knit with this tartan pattern?
