Some Stitch Patterns to Mimic Chain Mail
Because someone was asking, and this is something of a repeating obsession of mine, I thought I’d compile a few of my learnings.
Garter stich on kneedles that are 2-3 sizes larger than the recommended size for your yarn
Unnamed stash yarn 7wpi on 9mm kneedles
Moss stitch on kneedles that are 2-3 sizes larger than the recommended size for your yarn
7wpi yarn on 8mm kneedlea
Brioche Waffle:
multiple of 2+selvage, setup with 1 row of all purls (ws) r1: k1, k1below r2: p1, p1below
I did a variation of this worked over 4 rows:
1: k1, k1b
2: p1b, p1
3: k1b, k1
4: p1, p1b
My unblocked example:
This untitled slavic stitch (more of a scale mail sort of look, but cool nonetheless):
English: X - Selvage 3V - Pick up 3 strands from slipped stitches on previous rows and ktog with next stitch --- - Purl | - Knit .\ - slip stitch with yarn in front
even rows are worked in k1 p3 to row 8, then p2, k1, *p3, k1* to last two stitches, p2 for rows 10-16 Rows 2-18 form pattern
