Product Details
Are you a science lover marveling at the clever form and function of DNA? A Science Fiction fan fascinated by the (hypothetical) possibilities of cloning? A knitter who enjoys an interesting knit with asymmetrical cables and little Vikkel braids? Then this design is for you!
The cable panel on the back of the hand is shaped like a DNA strand, the carrier of our genes; the palm is worked in stocking stitch with comfortable thumb shaping.
Skills required: Knitting and purling in the round, increases and decreases, working cables over three and four stitches, and working Vikkel braids. Cabling techniques are explained in the Techniques section; Vikkel braids are both described in words and shown in a step-by-step photo tutorial.
The DNA cable panel is charted.
Sample shown in Malabrigo Sock; can easily be substituted with any other fingering-weight or sock yarn with similar qualities.
