The Danish Nattrojer
Pattern by Beth Brown-Reinsel
Skill Level: Intermediate
Gauge: 7 sts = 1" without modification
The Nattrojer
was a
common article of clothing for Danish women in the 1800's. They were
constructed with welts, flat pieces knitted back and forth and then
joined together at the ends, instead of ribbing at the
bottom.
The pattern gives instructions for chest circumferences of 33.25",
41.5", 49.75", or 58", and includes guidelines for altering
those
sizes by modifying the gauge. These sizes call for 1475,
1725,
1975 and 2225 yards of a sport or fingering weight yarn.
We have sport weight yarn here, and fingering
weight yarn here.
