Fairyland - Pattern

Fairyland is a raglan sweater. The sweater is knitted with a thread of Arwetta together with a thread of Tilia. Paia gold thread is also used in the ribs. The body is knitted in stocking stitch while the sleeves are knitted in a bubble pattern. All ribs are knitted with a twisted knit (the stitch is knitted in the back loop) and a purl stitch.

About the embroidery:

This embroidery has a higher level of difficulty than most of our other embroideries. The fairy is embroidered with backstitch and fill stitches. Follow the drawing and descriptions in the pattern, and use the close-up of the embroidery if you are in doubt. We first embroider the outline around the figures (backstitch), then we fill in with colors inside (fill stitches). The fill stitches should be as dense as possible to avoid the background color showing through. They can be advantageously overlapped. It is good to vary the length of these stitches.

NB! The look will be most beautiful if you let the stitches follow the curves of the shapes.

It is up to you whether you want to buy the embroidery thread we have used, or whether you want to use leftover yarn that you already have. NB! Remember that if you use leftover yarn, you must be sure that the yarn you embroider with is made of the same material as the yarn you knit the vest with. We therefore recommend embroidering a little on a sample patch and test washing it, if you are unsure about the yarn choice. Different quality of yarn can cause the garment to be damaged in the wash.
