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.

a Winona for me

My Winona!

For my version, I used stash yarn that I’ve had for a few years – Sliver Moon Farm fingering weight merino, which is super squishy and bouncy. I used less than 4 skeins in a lovely grey blue. I knit the size 36.5″, which fits me well in the shoulders with a bit of negative ease (an inch or so), but is nicely flared over my stomach and hips. It’s a more exaggerated silhouette than you might be used to, but it is so easy to wear. I’ll be wearing it over a dress (the one above is from Garnet Hill) all spring and summer.

Not a dress wearer? No worries, jeans are awesome too!

I have a pattern in the latest issue of Twist Collective! Photos below are by Jane Heller.

Winona is a top-down cardigan with tons of flare and slipped stitches. Super easy to wear and a great light layer for spring and summer. The Classic Elite Soft Linen has a great weight and drape!

And for once I managed to get my stuff together to knit one in my size before the issue went live! Photos of my finished version tomorrow.

P.S. As I was uploading this, I saw the horrible news from Boston. Everyone, stay safe, hug your families and do what you need to do to take care of yourself.

Escarpment

Escarpment is a lovely everyday cardigan with Elongated Garter Stitch sleeves and bodice. The V-neck and hip darts are flattering and easy to work.

Note that this cardigan does not have fastenings – shown pinned closed with a lovely fabric pin from Jenna Rose.

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 37.5” / 88cm with zero ease.

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.

Meant to be worn with zero or positive ease. For the best fit, measure a sweater you like the fit of, and make the size closest to it. Shown in size 38.25” / 95.5cm with 2” / 5cm ease.
