I had a few requests for the pattern for this sweater, and it’s finally ready! And if you scroll down, I have a fun giveaway today!
RUSHOLME is a cozy zippered cardigan with chunky seed stitch details and optional patch pockets. A little bit of waist shaping is worked on the back only, for a flattering but easy fit. The deep cuffs, fronts and long sailor collar are all edged with attached I-cord for a lovely clean finish. A one or two-way zipper makes Rusholme super easy to throw on every day, but it can also be worn open, or closed with toggles.
Worked as seamless raglan from the bottom up, with body knit flat and sleeves worked in the round. Can be worn with negative ease for a close fit, or make a larger size for extra coziness. For the best size, measure a sweater you like the fit of, and make the size closest to it. Shown in size 40” / 100cm with about 2” / 5cm of negative ease.

Would love to give the gleener a try. I’ve yet to find a great solution to pilling.
Ah! I’ve been wanting to buy a Gleener since I saw your post! Nice sweater! Looks like one I will knit!
I am always looking for new tools to de-pill sweaters. The Gleener seems like a great option!
I’ve been wanting one of these for a while now, so here’s my chance. Thank you for the give away. Also, your new designs is lovely. Looks so cozy.
I have plenty of things that need the Gleener. Thanks.
I could really use the Gleener. Sadly, several of my handknit sweaters are pilling badly.
Most of my pill-removing tools function sub-par.
Also: that is a lovely cardigan!
Love the sweater. Would love to win the Gleener. Thanks for the giveaway.
What a great give away. I promptly put a gleener on my Christmas wish list! I’m loving this sweater as well! Very wearable.
Thanks for the give away, looks like a great way to get rid of pills on those garments you don’t want to part with!
After reading your post I purchased a Gleener for a friend, seems reasonable that I borrow it continually. Might be time for me to have one of my own.
Love the new sweater pattern! Could really use a Gleener. Fingers crossed that I win!
I’d love a Gleener! My current method of de-pilling is cutting off each pill individually with embroidery scissors-yuck!
I would love a Gleener. I’d also really like to try this sweater. I’ve put it in my queue for the future!
Would love an upgrade to my sweater stone. Also, this pattern is lovely!
love the new sweater pattern!
Rusholme looks so cozy!!
I’ve never tried a Gleener but always wanted to. Love the cardi!
love the new pattern!
Love your cardigan – looks like it would be very comfortable! Would love to try the Gleener.
I have one of these – http://dfuzzit.com/ – but it seems too rough for some jobs. Different options would be great!
Really like that cardi! Looks like just the thing to wear on a grey and dreary day.
what a nice basic cardie!
The sweater is so gorgeous, it may make me try to to install a zipper. The Gleener is so amazing, I too want to share it with everyone!
i have wanted to try the Gleener for a while now! Love your sweater too, looks very cozy!
Gleener looks like a great tool. And the new sweater is fantastic!
Wow, Laura, you are a knitting machine! Another beautiful sweater. What a great tool the Gleener looks to be, much better than my sweater stone. And how special that you were gifted one for a giveaway on the basis of your recommendation. Very thoughtful on their part.
beautiful sweater design. Going into my queue!
love rusholme- looks cosy but smart.
I’ve been wanting to get a de-piller (is that a word) because all of the dresses that I knitted for my baby girl have pilled up something bad…. I didn’t take in the ‘crawling’ bit of the dresses & the knees are the worst!

I added a gleener to my Christmas list after your last post but alas my family doesn’t always understand my fibers needs. If I don’t win on or receive a gift I’ll just have to order one!
I remember you cleaning my mittens with one of these. They’re full of pills again. I need one of these!
Wow–a way to refresh my sweaters. Great product!
The sweater looks fabulous – great choice of colour!
Lovely sweater!
Lovely sweater. :) I’d love to win the Gleener too, I would put it to use, that’s for sure! Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to have a Gleener.
I’d love a Gleener! I’ve definitely dropped a few hints to my family to buy me one for Christmas but I’ve got several sweaters in desperate need of depilling and I haven’t found anything that does a good job other than cutting off the pills individually!
The gleener looks like a cool gadget. The sweater looks very comfortable and great!
The Gleener looks like a wonderful tool.
I just put a Gleener on my wish list. I have a couple of sweaters badly in need of a clean up! The Rusholme sweater is really nice. Looks so warm and cozy.
I have been wanting to try the Gleener! It looks like it works really well.
Another lovely one, Laura! And, a Gleener giveaway :)
Great sweater!!!
Ohhhh i have wanted to get this for Noel last year, I had put it on my wishlist but nobody got it for me…this coat/jacket/cardigan is just so perfect, will purchase the pattern
I love your new design! It looks great on you!
Fun giveaway. The sweater is beautiful and I love the colour too.
My sweater shaver just broke so the Gleener would be perfect. Very pretty sweater pattern, and it looks lovely on you too!
Great giveaway, and I love the sweater! A zipper closure seems so practical, but I haven’t dared try one yet; I fear my sewing skills are not quite up to it.
What a perfect tool for sweater wearers, thanks for mentioning.
The Gleener looks great!
Laura – this pattern is amazing. The cardi looks super cozi and very beautiful
Very nice pattern. I like how you matched with your outfit. Very nice for the cold in our Toronto.
Thank you for the giveaway and Happy Thanksgiving.
Have been coveting the Gleener since your post! (Also, love your new pattern!)
Haven’t heard of a Gleener since I saw your post. Would love to try it out.
Wanted to say: before I saw your post :-)
Beautiful sweater, and Happy Thanksgiving!
I have been lusting over a Gleener since your post!
Ha! I used to spend a lot of time on Rusholme Rd.
Fab sweater, you almost coordinate with the gleaner colour wise !
Gorgeous cardigan – I love the pockets and the color! If only I had time for personal knitting before Christmas…..
Oooh, I need another cozy sweater… this might fit the bill.
What a cute sweater! Perfect for a snowy day like it is here!
Oh man, I could totally use one of those! And by “one of those” I really mean both the sweater and the Gleener.

All of your projects are not only beautiful but, very inspiring! I love them all!
I’ve razored holes in too many sweaters trying to remove pills :( A Gleener would be excellent!
Another cozy looking pattern, Laura! A Gleener is on my knitting tool wish list!
Looks like a great tool to have
It’s a great gift idea!
I’d love to try this! I have such a problem with pilling!
The gleener would be perfect….I can’t even lie, although i have a few sweaters that could use it, all kidding aside, i’d mostly love it for my little girls sweater dresses!! I’m still not quite sure, why her’s do it so much more then mine. Maybe it’s just because they’re worn more often lol, or at least it seems that way.
I have so many swaeters that need saving with this!
I’d love a Gleener! Thanks for the chance
The Gleener sounds great.
