Mixing Techniques

(Crochet + Knit)

A little while ago, I made a crochet top for my sister:  Cotton Experiment.  Now I had to make one for myself.  But I decided to make it with a twist: the top part in crochet, and the rest in knit.  It was a bit of a risk, but it worked…
Hace poco hice una blusa de ganchillo para mi hermana: Experimentando con Algodón.  Luego me dieron ganas de hacer uno para mí.  Pero en esta ocasión pensé hacerle una variación, combinando ganchillo con tejido en dos agujas.  Era un riesgo, pero me alegro decir que funcionó…










I first made the crochet part (in turquoise).  Then I picked up stitches on the bottom  part, and knitted down on the round, with circular knitting needles.  All are knit sts, except for the purl row when changing colors, and the final rib border.  I am so happy with the results that I am already planning on making another one…with a few changes, of course ;-)

Primero tejí la parte de arriba en ganchillo.  Luego saqué puntos de la parte de abajo para montarlos en las agujas de punto.  Tejí todos los puntos derechos, excepto la hilera del cambio de color que hice en revés, y el borde final en resorte.  Estoy tan satisfecha con los resultados que ya estoy planeando hacer otro…con unas pequeñas variaciones, por supuesto ;-)
