Description
There is no cost to download Blue Kanu Section 1, which contains information you need before you commit to the Blue Kanu camisole pattern. Blue Kanu is set at moderately engaging, but it isn’t hard. There are sections that are likely different from what you are used to, there is shaping in pattern, and you do have to follow the pattern!
Why do I make Blue Kanu Section 1 available at no cost?
1. The Pattern Tailor is something new, and knitters deserve some assurances before they leap in.
2. The photo looks great, the description is lovely, and I want you to look behind the curtain to see what is there!
Download these two pages which explain my pattern formatting and why I put so much information and detail into my patterns.

Blue Kanu Section 1
Here’s the table of contents for Section 1:
- jill’s commentary on blue kanu: I always have suggestions on executing my pieces, but this one has some
juicy stuff! - information you will need to enter into the blue kanu pattern tailor
- information you can use: This is the stuff you need to know about the Pattern instructions.
a. sizes: your measurements are given for this project. All measurements given are blocked.
b. needles & supplies: What I used. I am a loose knitter and knit continental, so be
sure you go up a needle size or two if you are a tight knitter.
c. sample yarn & model: Yarn information and sample information. I always give the exact
amount of yarn used in the sample. - technique links: 1-stitch mattress stitch through work in ends
- abbreviations & symbols: What appears in the pattern (in alphabetical order).
- road maps: These drawings help you see how the knitting will unfold. I think this is
very useful and I keep it separate from the Schematic for clarity.
