NOTES ON KNITTING PLARN

Plarn takes a bit of getting used to, it is quite stiff to knit with, although there is a little stretch to it. It is slow to knit up.

You can either make up a lot and roll the plarn into a ball or just make up one bag and add to it as you go along adding more plarn to the end loop.

 

BOWL

Knitted from the rim to the base.

Cast on 36 sts (cable cast on is the best method as it produces a firm rim).

Divide sts – 12 on each of the three dpns.

Rds 1 - 6: k (right side will eventually be the inside of the bowl).

Tug work down as you go, by holding the needle in left hand and pulling at the cast on edge.

Rd 7: (k4, sl1, k1, psso) rpt to end of rd (30 sts).

Rd 8: k.

Rd 9: (k3, sl1, k1, psso) rpt to end of rd (24 sts).

Rd 10: k.

Rd 11: (k2, sl1, k1, psso) rpt to end of rd (18 sts).

Rd 12: (sl1, k1, psso) rpt to end of rd (9 sts).

• Cut plarn leaving a tail of about 15cms (6ins) and thread onto tapestry needle.
• Pull threaded yarn through the 9 sts, removing them from the needles.
• Pull tight.
• Reinforce by running plarn again through the 9 sts. Make a few sts to secure, then loose plarn tail in work.
• Loose tail at cast on edge on right side.
• Turn reverse side outwards.
• Pull and stretch the bowl until it is a good shape.
