The report is on 6 stitches so then you mark a stitch, count 5 and mark the 6 stitches, count 5, mark the 6 stitches etc. As ever, Linka uses her environment to inspire her as well as animals from the snowy north – with dogs, orcas, polar bears and reindeers finding their way into her designs. The report is 16 stitches so then mark 16 stitches in the middle of the front, mark 16 stitches again, etc. I found this while browsing my library shelves and was pleasantly surprised to find something new to me.

There are so few stitches at the bottom of the sleeves of the Wilderness sweater that I usually use only 4 needles on the rib (I cast on 3 stitches and use the fourth to knit). You can also use stitch markers to mark every 5 stitches so you know exactly where to cast off, and you do not have to count during casting. When I want to find the right size, I measure around the chest and put on between 7 and 10 cm to find the right width.

If you find it a little confusing to knit a pattern, you can use a post-it note and cover the rows you have not yet knitted. Straight stitches are shaped like a V, while purl stitches are just an inverted straight stitch, and it has a kind of "pearl". Many of the designs come with variations and options for customising your garments to suit all tastes, whether you prefer a jumper or a cardigan, a thicker or thinner fabric, sewn-on arms or round yokes. In the pattern for the Wilderness Sweater there are 13 stitches of 10 cm and that just means that you have to use the needle size that gives you the correct gauge.If, on the other hand, you have managed to increase the number of stitches by accident, these must be folded together by knitting stitches evenly on the next round. Here you have to knit over the stitches on 4 needles (and not 3 as on the purl stitch) as there are more stitches on the needle.
