Solace Re-release!

Solace Cardigan

Originally published in Knit Now, Issue 24, Solace has been updated and re-released through my blog and Ravelry!

Totally seamless, top down with raglan shaping, Solace is enjoyable to knit and you will only have a few ends to weave in!...and maybe a button to sew on!  Worsted or Aran weight yarn also makes it a quicker knit than most cardigans.

Rounded front edges adds style but also a nice shape that looks good on a variety of body types.

A simple slip stitch pattern is worked throughout with wide ribbed bands for a classic feel.

Sizes XS-XXL, finished bust of 30"-54", included 0-2" of positive ease.

Etta Re-release

Etta

Re-released December 2013.

Originally published in Knit Now magazine, Issue 18, February 2013

As always, India is my model!  This tunic is a size medium, which fits India comfortably, even with layering.

Etta is worked seamlessly, in the round, from the neck down.  There is no seaming!  I used Artesano Aran which is wonderfully soft and knit up very quickly.

Sizing is from XS-XXL; Finished Chest measurements of 32"-56".  The tunic is meant to be worn with 2-4" of positive ease (better to layer with!)

Raglan shaping is worked from the neck down.  The cables and lace are on the reverse side as well as the front. but the back can be worked entirely in stotckinette stitch, if desired.

Etta is great to wear over a long skirt, jeans, or leggings!

 *** Enjoy $1 off Etta Pattern from December 8-11, 2013.  Discount applied at checkout! Happy knitting :)  ***

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.

Cardigan: Body is worked from the bottom up, flat, seamed at the shoulders. Sleeves are worked flat, seamed and sewn into place.

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.

Bonnet: Bonnet is worked from the forehead to the crowd, seamlessly and flat. Chin strap is in garter stitch.

Sizes:  3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months

Rating: Easy to Intermediate
