    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.

    Escarpment is knit seamlessly from the top down with raglan sleeves. The body is worked flat, with the sleeves worked in the round. Bands are picked up and knit once the body is complete. 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.

    Ripped – this was a great sweater idea but just not working in this iteration. It’ll come back around.

    WIP – these socks have been on the needles forever. Just finished one with a tiny bit of yarn to spare, started the second right away. Good knitting to keep in my purse.

    made it!

    WIP – Sheepcote is coming along. Both sleeves done, and a few inches of the body. Part of the reason I’m working on it a bit slowly is because I know I don’t have enough yarn and I need to order some! (Manos Silk Blend in Juniper.)

  • Ikemura Pullover

    New pattern day – no joke!

    Ikemura

    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.
