Sauble
Sauble is a light, comfortable cardigan perfect for layering. The short sleeves and V-neck are easy to wear over your favourite T-shirts and dresses. The Wildflower Knot stitch is elegant and fun to knit, and this cardigan is a great way to use just a few skeins of sock yarn.
Sauble is knit from the bottom up, with the body worked flat in one piece to the underarm. The set-in sleeves are knit flat and seamed for a great fit.
Meant to be worn with 0-2” / 0-5cm ease at the bust. For the best fit, measure a sweater you like the fit of, and make the size closest to it.
Shown in size 39.5” / 88cm with 1” / 2.5cm ease.

Leonarda Shawl
Spring showers are in full force here in Toronto today, so I’m bringing in a little brightness with my new shawl pattern, Leonarda!
Leonarda is an elegant and fun accessory featuring Elongated Garter Stitch and an unusual drop-stitch twist pattern. Perfect for wrapping around your neck or over your shoulders – and for knitting up that skein or two of special sock yarn! Three different size and shape options so you can find the perfect fit.
Scarf and Shawl are worked from the top down, in a modified triangular shape with extra-long points for wrapping. Stole is worked sideways by casting on for the length of the piece. Stole can be turned into an infinity scarf by sewing short ends together. Technical Editing by Alexandra Virgiel.

Ikemura Pullover
New pattern day – no joke!
Ikemura is a fun, comfortable pullover featuring colourblocking and a swingy, easy to wear A-line shape. The notched neckline and extra-long sleeves are finished with simple ribbing. Ikemura is knit seamlessly from the top down with raglan sleeves. The upper yoke is knit flat, then joined to be worked in the round for the lower body and sleeves.
Meant to be worn with -2”-0” / -5-0cm ease at the bust to ensure that the shoulders are a good fit – the swingy shape will skim over many body shapes.
For the best fit, measure a sweater you like the fit of, and make the size closest to it. Shown in size 35.25” / 88cm with about an inch of negative ease.
