for sale: B-Side Cardigan
A couple of days of intensive editing, and here’s the pattern for the B-Side Cardigan!
More photos in my Flickr set.
Keep your cool with B-Side! The B-Side Cardigan features an easy to knit cable panel on the left front and shoulder, subtle waist shaping, ribbed sleeve detail and ribbed sailor-type collar. The body is worked in one piece to the underarm, then splits for the set in sleeve shaping.
This fun, lightweight cardigan is worked in a kettle-dyed, slightly thick and thin wool-silk blend yarn with lots of character. The sportweight gauge keeps the fabric thin and wearable all year long.

Definite “gotta have it” sweater. Thanks for the “extra lovely” sizing. Purchased pattern and printed already, just need the wool. If Manos not readily available, can you suggest any other wool/silk blends?? Thanks Laura, BTW, how is Brown Belle coming along?
29 You are too cute! That cardi looks great! I love your blog and I think that you are way talented. Keep up the good work and inspiration.

Wow, that is a great looking sweater, and those buttons are perfect with that yarn.
31 Dude! Congratulations! It’s absolutely gorgeous. Even my hubby said he’d wear one (minus the long collar, of course). And I loooooove the silk blend. I just picked up a ton from my lys and am looking forwrd to my own goodness-inspired creation.
32 This design has many of the elements I want in a cardigan. I bought a copy of the pattern and look forward to knitting this.
33 This is just lovely – congrats! You are a very talented gal! The pictures are lovely, too.
34 It’s lovely. Let’s hear it for the virtues of small-gauge sweaters. Great fabric, great drape, more wearability!
Nice job.
