Abernathy Cardigan & Cap

Abernathy Cardigan & Cap
Check it out on Ravelry!

Abernathy Cardigan is a sweet little unisex cardi that is worked from the top down, seamlessly, with an eyelet yoked collar. With a stockinette stitch body & garter stitch hem, front bands, cuffs and collar, it is simple enough to show off variegated yarns nicely. Four buttonholes are worked, beginning at the top right band and more can be added, if desired. Generous ease, 2-3” (5-7.5cm), allows this to be a wonderful layering piece that is light and soft; perfect for wee babes and little ones alike!

The delicate eyelet yoke can be worked with any other type of increase to have a more masculine look. 

The Abernathy Cap is an adorable little unisex hat that is quick to knit up and works beautifully with variegated yarns or in a solid colour. It is begun at the crown, with eyelet increases in a circular pattern, then simple stockinette stitch to the brim. Garter stitch brim & I-cord ties finish this vintage style cap off sweetly!

Sweet, simple, classic style that is perfect for any little one!

Kenjin セージ

Kenjin

Sample size 6 months, shown in "Summer Sky", copyright Dream in Color

Description:  Kenjin is a lovely unisex, asymmetrical cardigan that is worked seamlessly, from the bottom up.  It features a slanted rib pattern on the back and front and stockinette stitch sleeves.  

This pattern is available on Ravelry or through Dream in Color for $5.50.

Sizes:  3(6, 12, 18)months & 2(4, 6, 8, 10)years

Rating: Advanced Beginner to Intermediate

Techniques & Stitches Used:  Slanted cable pattern, stockinette stitch, garter stitch, basic increases and decreases

Yarn Requirements:  1 (1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5) skeins Dream in Color Classy with Cashmere - 70% Superwash Merino Wool, 20% Cashmere, 10% Nylon - 210 yds per 4 oz skein

Sample size in 6 years, not sure of the color, but it is a dark teal with almost black patches.

Kenjin means "sage" (セージ) in Japanese.  

I try to name most of my designs after family members, however "Sage", the name of my first son, is a very popular knitting pattern name!  At the time of knitting the sample, my daughter was flying out to Japan (I received the yarn the day she flew out!) and therefore a Japanese name seemed appropriate.

Description:  Not long ago, most infants took their naps on the porch, in their bassinets or prams. My mum had such a pram that I took leisurely naps in among the fresh air and warm sun.

It features an easy fair isle pattern and a twisted rib bodice on the cardigan for an heirloom feel.

Leggings: Leggings have a folded waistband with an I-cord tie, knit seamlessly, in the round. Short rows across backside with a gusset. Each leg is worked seamlessly, in the round.
