I decided to try switching the red for green to save myself many hours in a new pair of hose. You can see from the picture shown of the swatches that the colors are the same except for the green stitch in the Scott and the red in the Menzies. The old pair was made for Dress Blue Menzies. The tartan for the newly requested pair of tartan hose was Dress Royal Scott. This is a great trick to know if you are ever looking for a used pair of hose and you find some that are close except for the cross stitch color(s). The dancer was happy to sell them back to me. I knew that the old pair were sitting in a drawer not being used. I had since knit the older dancer a new pair for a new kilt. I had knit a hose with similar colors previously for an older dancer. I am a fairly slow knitter and I could see that she was going to be close to outgrowing her kilt shortly after I finished.
The lines are embroidered with respectively Spinni by Isager in color 47 held together with Silk Mohair from Isager in Color 47 and Spinni by Isager in color 11S held together with Silk Mohair by Isager in color 41.Why would you want to switch out a cross stitch color?Ī few years ago I was asked to knit a pair of hose for a young dancer.

For example, if your bust circumference is 90 cm, you should knit a size S that has a bust measurement of 99 cm. Please measure yourself before casting on to estimate which size will fit you best.
Therefore, the sizes XS (S) M (L) XL correspond to a bust measurement of approx. This intended positive ease is built into the pattern. The Scotty Sweater is meant to be worn with a positive ease of approx. Knit a swatch to find the needle size that gives you the correct gauge. The decorative lines for the characteristic pattern on the Scotty Sweater are embroidered at the end using duplicate stitches. The Scotty Sweater requires almost no finishing, except for sewing down the folded neckband and the cuffs at the sleeves.
The neckband is knit in rib from picked-up stitches along the neckline and is folded over for a double collar. Next, you will pick up stitches along the armholes for working the set-in sleeves using short rows. You will begin by knitting the top back, then the shoulders, the front, and then the body of the sweater.
You can substitute for another yarn or yarn combination that gives the same gauge, but keep in mind that the fabric characteristics may vary. The Scotty Sweater is knit from the top down in stockinette stitch holding one strand of Spinni and two strands of Silk Mohair together.
