non troppo wrap
non troppo is a dream of cloudy lightness and funky elegance, inspired by ma non troppo, a Ziggurat pullover I knitted for my mum. The yarn is of course what inspired both. Cathrin Walk of Walk Collection just creates the most beautiful yarns in colours that I have never seen or dreamed of before — nor knew I loved before I laid eyes on them. Fantastic.
This perfect wrap for wintry days and coolish summer evenings is knitted on the bias, generous, asymmetrical, striped – and has both textural playfulness and flair.
Choose somber or wild colours as you please and settle into some soothingly simple knitting.
non troppo just could be the perfect commuter or read-while-you’re-knitting knit – nothing complicated is going on (and goes on for quite a while).
My sample measures approx 50 cm by 210 cm (20 in by 83 in).
(this is pointy point to pointy point – length along one side is approx 185 cm / 73 in)

[…] the lace yarn and have it ready to start my new knitting project. A design by Asa Tricosa : non troppo wrap. It is another shawl with purl and knit stitches, but has some new techniques for me. Looking […]
Dear Asatricosa,
I am knitting line 1 of step 2 and it doesn’t say to swap from MC to CC after the first 3 stitches. But the intro to step 2 says otherwise. Does this change only occur at row 5? Please help!

I don’t have the pattern in front of me, but:
You are knitting 4-row stripes. That is, you are alternating MC and CC on every 4th row.
However, the right-hand edge is always knitted with MC.
On MC-stripes you do not change to CC.
On CC-stripes yo do.
Does that help or am I not understanding your question correctly?
Good luck!
