Well, well, if it isn't Mrs.Hicks!

Mrs.Hicks

Sample shown in size small, tunic length, with 0" ease

Description:  Mrs. Hicks is worked from the top down, seamlessly & flat, in a technique called “two ended knitting” or “double sliding garter”. It creates a reversible fabric with a subtle stripe. The entire garment, aside from the bands is knit! No purling at all!

This cardigan features an overlapping, wrap style front that can be left open to drape or closed up with a belt. The A-line shape offers a comfortable fit with minimal ease & is easily customizable for length. Two lengths are included: short (top of hip length) and long (tunic length) as well as ¾ length sleeves, which can be easily lengthened. Due to the double sliding garter, Mrs.Hicks is a fairly stretchy garment that is very comfortable and versatile.

A contrasting solid can be used to work the 2x2 rib along the cuffs, front edges and hems.

There are many different ways to wear this adaptable cardigan!  Leave it to hang open, belt it, or use  a fancy shawl pin....

Mrs. Hicks is available exclusively through Three Irish Girls here.

Autumn Road

Autumn Road Tunic

This sample is actually my prototype!  It is close to a size 4 in the pattern and Scarlett is 5.5yrs here, so it doesn't have much ease. It cold comfortably fit a 2 yr old as a little dress.

The sleeves are puffed a lot more in the pattern than in this sample.  They feature sweet little garter stitch ties.

A-line shape, with increases on either side of the front and back sections are fun little details.

The buttons and holes are located on the left front raglan edge.

Description:  “The Autumn Road Tunic was designed with my little girls in mind. They love stripes, lots of colors and fancy details like puffed sleeves and ribbons. This cute little tunic is worked seamlessly and flat, from the neck down and then joined in the round after the buttonholes are worked. It features raglan shaping, gathers along the sleeve caps, and increases along the front and back panels. Sleeves are kept short and are gathered at the cuff where garter stitch ties are worked. The neck edge, hem and cuffs are worked in garter stitch with a contrasting color to add a pop of color. The striping pattern is optional and is great for using smaller amounts of yarn. 
“The Autumn Road Tunic is sure to become a go-to favorite!”
