October 2023 s&Z
|
This month we move to modern patterns that use the unique properties of S&Z patterns to create new textures. Peter Collingwood, in his book The Techniques of Sprang, noted that alternate blocks of S&Z create an undulating surface.
Invitation: Use the repeats in this pattern to create a larger piece for a hat or scarf. |

A note about instructions and charts:
The instructions include a photo of the completed motif, the written shorthand pattern, and a chart with Carol’s notation.
The charts include a possibly higher-resolution version of the chart with Carol’s notation, and a shorthand chart which shows only the S and Z stitches. The shorthand chart is recommended for those who are comfortable with the transitions from S to Z and do not need to know which stitches are on the back threads and which are on the front threads.
