  • Harrisville Designs Fall 2014: Grantham

    Harrisville Designs’ Fall collection is out, and I have two sweater patterns in it! Check out the lookbook here.

    For my second sweater with Harrisville, I designed a simple pullover with an asymmetrical hem, V-neck, and long sleeves.

    Official blurb: The Grantham Pullover is a flattering sweater featuring an asymmetrical hem and simple V-neck. The back is worked with slipped stitches that highlight the subtle darted waist shaping, and the long sleeves begin with an I-cord cast on that is echoed in the attached I-cord neck edging. Harrisville’s Silk & Wool is light and soft, with a fun nubbly texture.

    Grantham is knit in pieces and seamed.

    I wish I was in the woods at a beautiful cabin like this one right now!

    Here’s my original sketch.

    slanted pullover

    Originally, I was going to just have the front be slanted and the back hem straight across, but that evolved to have both the front and back be shaped. The Silk & Wool is really nice and light, perfect if you overheat a lot like me!

    Here it is on my dressform.

    I love slipped stitch darted shaping.
