Product Description
Heathland Multicolour Waistcoat in Rowan Pebble Island
What is Being Made
The Heathland Multicolour Waistcoat is a knitted sleeveless garment designed by Erika Knight using Rowan's Pebble Island yarn collection. This intermediate-level project creates a fitted waistcoat available in nine size options, with finished chest measurements ranging from 93 cm to 175 cm to accommodate a wide range of body sizes from children to adults. The design features a structured back panel and armhole shaping for a tailored fit.
Techniques Used
This knitting pattern employs several key techniques to construct the waistcoat. Striping forms the primary visual element, with a 36-row repeat pattern that cycles continuously throughout the garment. Decreasing is used strategically at the armholes, where stitches are bound off at the beginning of rows to create the sleeveless openings. The pattern requires careful row counting and shaping to achieve the proper proportions, with the back panel requiring approximately 28 to 31.5 cm of length from the fold line before armhole shaping begins. The multicolour construction involves managing multiple yarn colors across the striped pattern.
Stitches and Stitch Patterns
The Heathland Multicolour Waistcoat is worked primarily in stockinette stitch, the fundamental knit fabric that provides a smooth, classic appearance. The 36-row striping pattern creates the multicolour effect by alternating between different colors from the Pebble Island collection in a repeating sequence. Armhole shaping is accomplished through bind-off decreases worked at the beginning of consecutive rows, with the number of stitches bound off varying by size (ranging from 2 to 8 stitches depending on the size being knitted).
Materials: Yarn and Needles
The Heathland Multicolour Waistcoat is knitted using Rowan Pebble Island yarn, a worsted-weight fiber supplied in 50-gram balls. The multicolour version incorporates six distinct colorways from the Pebble Island range: Tussac (color 023), Macaroni (color 029), Diddle Dee (color 026), and three additional colors designated as F, C, and D within the pattern instructions. The specific needle size is not detailed in the provided pattern excerpt, though worsted-weight yarn typically works well with needles in the US 7-9 range. The pattern is presented as a downloadable PDF in German (DE), making it accessible for German-speaking knitters.
