Passap machine knitting instructions for a linen suit consisting of a skirt and a jacket with some striping details. All the pieces are knit in stocking stitch and seamed. It is pictured worn with 2384 Backless top.

The pattern calls for 970g (1100)g cotton/linen yarn (300m per 100g): 800 (900) g cognac, 130 (150) g offwhite, 40 (50) g black and a length of elastic for the skirt waist.

Test square (stocking stitch): 100 sts = 32 cm, 100 rows = 21 cm

(Note this pattern and model 2384 seem to use the same yarn, but the stitch numbers in their test squares differ while the row numbers and stitch sizes are the same. It looks like there is an error in one of them.)

The stitch sizes given in this model book are for the earlier “Pinkie” Passap (referred to as the “Duo” in this model book). Add an extra half stitch size to get the appropriate stitch size for the later DM80 and E6000 machines.

This pattern also includes instructions for the Passap Combi machine.

The pattern is pictured on p4 of the model book, (p6 of the pdf), the instructions are on p11 of the instruction book (p30 of the pdf).
