#BROCADE PATTERN HOW TO#
The patterns is various and as beautiful as the cloud in the sky therefore its name "Yunjin". This pattern is easy to make with just knit and purl stitches, even beginners can learn how to do it. Nanjing yunjin brocades are famous for their exquisite technology, elegant patterns and smooth texture. It is famous for its cloud-like colours and intricate patterns. Nanjing yunjin brocade is regarded as one of the best forms of silk. It was Nanjing's largest handicraft industry at that time. When Nanjing Yunjin weaving peaked, it had more than 30,000 looms and nearly 300,000 people made a living in these fields. In the Qing Dynasty, "Jiangning Weaving Department" was established in Nanjing. The Eastern Jin government had set up a special brocade office in Nanjing to manage the production of the brocade, which represented the formal establishment of Nanjing brocade. The brocade weavers were top craftsmen nationwide and had learned many skills from minority ethnic groups. The victory brought all the craftsmen in Xi'an back to Jiankang, now Nanjing City, among whom brocade-weavers were a dominant force. In a war, which broke out at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (317-420), General Liu Yu defeated the Xi'an-based Later Qin kingdom (384-417). Tips for customization are included with the pattern.The history of brocade in Nanjing can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period (220-280). If you cannot get both stitch and row gauge with the same size needles you may match stitch gauge, as the charts are easier to adjust for length/height than they are for width/circumference. In order to follow the pattern exactly as written and make socks that are the correct length you must match both stitch and row gauge. The different sizes are made by slight changes in weight of yarn and gauge, and thus the same numbers and charts are used for both sizes. I prefer to knit socks on a single circular needle using the magic loop technique and although you may use your favorite technique for working in the round the pattern is written with the magic loop in mind and thus may not be specifically tailored to the use of double pointed needles. For most knitters who work stranded colorwork holding one color in each hand, the dominant color will be the one held in the left hand such that the floats run underneath those of the MC. In both samples I held the CC as the dominant yarn throughout.

MC: 1 skein North Loop Yarn Silky Merino Sock Yarn in Cotton CandyĬC: 1 skein North Loop Yarn Merino Sock Yarn in Brown Black (This line has been discontinued but the Silky Merino Sock is obviously equally suitable for this pattern.) Shown in size S/M, pink/brown M/L, cream/orange Twisted German cast-on, knitting stranded colorwork in the round from a chart, basic sock techniques, picking up stitches, grafting The pattern includes directions for two sizes (achieved by adjusting gauge and weight of yarn) with notes on customization. Stranded socks are less stretchy than non-stranded socks, and as such they should be made as close to the actual size of the wearer’s foot as possible. In addition to the distinctive colorwork, the socks feature a cuff in corrugated ribbing and a sturdy heel flap worked with the yarn held double stranded. The chart for the Brocade Socks was loosely inspired by a pattern called Elbistan Stitch, from Betsy Harrel’s 1981 Anatolian Knitting Designs: Sivas Stocking Patterns Collected in an Istanbul Shantytown.
