point reyes
A timeless beach classic knit in linen, Point Reyes is the
perfect knit for a summer day. The fitted garter bodice
transitions to a soft and flattering A-line silhouette.
Contrasting lateral braids at the back shoulders add
structure and visual interest, while the I-cord neckband,
faux side seams, and split garter hem provide an elegant
and simple finish.
Top down design and asymmetrical armhole shaping
with set in sleeves make for a fabulous fit. Point Reyes
easily adapts to cooler days when knit in a wool blend.

Swatch
Garter stitch Cast on 36 sts and work garter stitch for 60
rows. Bind off all stitches. See note below on finished
and working gauges.
Soak swatch, squeeze out excess moisture, then dry in
the dryer. Repeat soaking/drying process at least two
more times to obtain final fabric and gauge.

notes
Working with linen For tips and advice on working with
Sparrow, see this blog post.
Finished gauge vs working gauge The gauge for garter
stitch fabric will be quite different before and after
washing and drying, so it's helpful to keep track of the
pre- and post-washing gauges. Download the Point
Reyes Worksheet here.
Row gauge considerations If your swatch shows your row
gauge to be different from the pattern's stated gauge,
you will need to make a row gauge adjustment in order
to keep the armholes the correct depth. A handy row
gauge adjuster spreadsheet can be downloaded from
the Blue Bee Studio website to help with this. Once
you have determined how many rows fewer (or more) of needle. Tails will be at left. Yarn markers will stay in

checking the bodice fit
Because garter stitch can change so radically
between the working gauge and the finished
gauge, it's a good idea to check the fit of your
finished bodice before moving on to the skirt.
To do this, wash and block the garter bodice as
follows: On both front and back, once you've
reached the desired depth, knit one more row
in waste yarn, then bind off all sts. Soak piece
in warm water. Roll in towel to get out as much
water as possible, then dry flat, pinning piece to
open the garter ridges and elongate bodice.
When the piece is dry, gently pin the sides to-
gether and try it on. Remember that the weight
of the skirt will help to lower the transition line
between the garter bodice and the skirt. Adjust
bodice depth, if needed.
Break yarn, leaving a 20" [50 cm] tail for seaming. Slip
stitches to waste yarn holder, or follow instructions
above for blocking work and checking fit.

special stitches and techniques
cast ons
Cable cast-on: Insert right needle tip between the first
two stitches on left hand needle, wrap yarn as if to knit,
pull loop through and place on left needle tip to form a
new stitch—1 stitch cast on.
Purled cable cast-on: With yarn in front, insert right
needle tip between the first two stitches on left hand
needle, wrap yarn as if to purl, pull loop through and
place on left needle tip to form a new stitch—1 stitch
cast on.
If you have a lot of stitches to cast on, you may find it
easier to use a crochet hook to pull the stitches through.
A video tutorial on working the cable cast-on can be
found here.
increases
Right Lifted Increase (RLI): With right-hand needle, pick
up the right leg of the stitch below the next stitch on
left-hand needle, place on left-hand needle and knit—1
stitch increased.
Left Lifted Increase (LLI): With left-hand needle, pick up
the left leg of the stitch two stitches below the stitch
just worked on your right-hand needle and knit—1 stitch
increased.
A video tutorial on working the right and left lifted
increases can be found here.
Yarnover (yo): Bring yarn between needles to the front,
then over right-hand needle to back, ready to knit the
next stitch—1 stitch increased.
decreases
Knit 2 together (k2tog): Knit the next two stitches to-
gether—1 stitch decreased (right-slanting).
Knit 2 together through the back loops (k2tog-tbl):
Knit the next two stitches together through the back
loops—1 stitch decreased (left-slanting).

short row shaping
Wrap and turn (w&t) on right side of fabric: Bring the yarn
to the front of work between the needles. Slip the next
stitch to the right-hand needle; move the yarn to the
back of the work, wrapping yarn in front of stitch. Slip
stitch back to the left-hand needle. Turn and work the
next row.
Wrap and turn (w&t) on wrong side of fabric: Move the
yarn to the back of the work between the needles. Slip
the next stitch to the right-hand needle and bring the
yarn to the front of the work, wrapping yarn behind
stitch. Slip stitch back to left-hand needle. Turn and work
the next row.
Working short rows in garter stitch: Wraps are not picked
up in garter, they are left in place and the stitch is
worked normally.
Picking up wraps on right side of fabric: Insert the right
needle tip into the wrap from below, front to back, then
into the stitch that it wraps, and knit the two together,
making sure wrap falls to the wrong side of the work.
Picking up wraps on wrong side of fabric: Insert the right
needle tip into the wrap from below, back to front, lifting
it over the stitch that it wraps, and purl the two together,
making sure wrap falls to the wrong side of work.
Note: The operation 'pick up wrap' includes the working
of the wrapped stitch. If the instructions say to, 'pick up
wrap, k2', you will be working 3 stitches further than the
previous row.
