    SWEET BUNTING CARDIGAN

    What could be sweeter than a baby cardigan with its own colourwork bunting?

    Worked seamlessly from the bottom up with a stranded colourwork yoke and fun ties that extend into the bunting string. The yarn is a super soft cotton, wool, linen and soy blend that comes in great colours, and the flags are a perfect place to use up a little bit of variegated or handspun yarn. Simple seed stitch at the edges are a classic touch.

    Shown in size 20.5” / 52cm. Thanks to Jeanie for being such a cute model, Keri for letting me steal her baby, and Jasmine for her beautiful house!

  • Savile Row Cardigan

    My trip to NYC is imminent, but I wanted to get this pattern out to you all before I leave! This sweater pattern has been a long time coming – I knit, ripped, knit, ripped and knit to get it right for Rhinebeck last fall, and then just…didn’t work on it for months afterwards. Finally got my act together to shoot it with Jasmine when we met up to do the Map Collection, put together the (rather complex) pattern and here is the result!

    Savile Row

    SAVILE ROW CARDIGAN

    A perfect blazer cardigan! Savile Row has curved hems and a shapely waist with a fun ribbon detail. Fastened pockets hold all those little things, and soft notched lapels are polished and classic. Knit seamlessly with set-in sleeves from the bottom up with I-Cord edges. Deep garter stitch cuffs on the sleeves are closed with lots of wee buttons.

    Shown in size 37” / 94cm with 2” / 5cm of positive ease.
    For the best fit, I suggest choosing a size which will give you 0-2” / 0-5cm of positive ease.
