Panta in progressI began my panta last night. Increasing was a lot less difficult than I thought it would be. Especially because I found a site with instructions and videos. I'm extremely visual. Of course...I just realized I've been knitting wrong this whole time. :( Only knitting though, I've been purling just fine. lol Oh well. Guess I'll finish it wrong and then try doing it right the next time. *shrugs* It looks fine enough.
The panta pattern was sort of confusing, so I wrote it down my own way. The best thing to do would be to measure the circumference of your head where you want to wear the panta. My total was 54cm. (The pattern used cm so I just kept it that way) Not everyone has to adjust the size or length of their panta, but the original was like 10cm off for me, which is about 4 inches. And my head tends to be too small for most regular sized hats/headbands. Here is what I came up with:
Make all inc or dec on RS rows. Knit edges in garter.
CO 19sts
Row 1: k1, *k2, p1 *repeat a total of 5 times, k2, k1
Row 2: k1, *p2, k1 *repeat a total of 5 times, p2, k1
cont until piece measures 8cm
At 8cm inc all p1 to p2
Inc row A: k1, *k2, p2 *repeat 5 times, k2, k1 (24sts)
Inc row B: k1, *p2, k2 *repeat 5 times, p2, k1
cont until piece measures 14cm
At 14 cm inc all p2 to p3
Inc row C: k1, *k2, p3 *repeat 5 times, k2, k1 (29sts)
Inc row D: k1, *p2, k3 *repeat 5 times, p2, k1
cont until piece measures 19cm
At 19 cm inc all p3 to p4
Inc row E: k1, *k2, p4 *repeat 5 times, k2, k1 (34sts)
Inc row F: k1, *p2, k4 *repeat 5 times, p2, k1
cont until piece measures 23cm
At 23cm inc all p4 to p5
Inc row G: k1, *k2, p5 *repeat 5 times, k2, k1 (39sts)
Inc row H: k1, *p2, k5 *repeat 5 times, p2, k1
cont until piece measures 27cm - place stitch marker this is the center.
Reverse shaping measuring from marker.
cont rows G and H until piece measures 4cm
At 4cm dec all p5 to p4
Dec row H: k1, *k2, p4 *repeat 5 times, k2, k1(34sts)
Dec row G: k1, *p2, k4 *repeat 5 times, p2, k1
cont until piece measures 8m
At 8cm dec all p4 to p3
Dec row F: k1, *k2, p3 *repeat 5 times, k2, k1 (29sts)
Dec row E: k1, *p2, k3 *repeat 5 times, p2, k1
cont until piece measures 13cm
At 13cm dec all p3 to p2
Dec row D: k1, *k2, p2 *repeat 5 times, k2, k1 (24sts)
Dec row C: k1, *p2, k2 *repeat 5 times, p2, k1
cont until piece measures 19cm
At 19cm dec all p2 to p1
Dec row B: k1, *k2, p1 *repeat 5 times, k2, k1 (19sts)
Dec row A: k1, *p2, k1 *repeat 5 times, p2, k1
cont until piece measure 27cm (54cm total)10:30
