Be a Blend Master—the art and science of combining multiple thin yarns
This collection of cotton clothes is designed with Japanese standard gauge machines in mind. None of the patterns require a ribber although it is an option in some of them.
Passap Knitters: many of these may be knitted on the Passap but most of the patterns do not use Passap language so thorough knowledge of how techniques are achieved is required by the knitter. I don’t recommend using Cottontale 8 on the Passap. It does knit for me but I find the resulting fabric hard and not pleasant. If you wish to knit the cotton quadruplets on the Passap, I suggest substituting Tamm Perle yarn. Length should come out the same but circumference will be 96% of that given in the pattern, creating sizes from 34.4-53” in the bust.
