The swing shape reminds me of the vintage Pendleton jackets I covet, and the details–pockets, sleeves, cables– are perfection. The fact that the sample is in Plucky Knitter Scholar only adds to the allure; such a photogenic yarn, and I love things that are hard to come by.

I was idly musing about knitting a granddad sweater this year, but now that I’ve gone through so many possibilities, I’m bemoaning how much chenille intarsia stands between me and my granddadigan.

I’m deducting a point for the lack of pockets, but then again, pockets would interrupt that smooth line. There’s a special occasion on the horizon and while you’ve found the perfect dress, you’re not entirely sure what to wear on top to stay warm. If you’re someone who loves to add a pop of colour to your outfit then you’re going to love our range of cardigans. As commenter Milissa pointed out, there is a gorgeous scarlet version of this sweater in Spirit Trail Fiberworks’ yarn Birte. If you’re looking to stay warm when the day draws to a close and the temperatures drop, then our longline cardigans will be perfect.

I’m grateful to all who suggested this design, as von Hinterm Stein is new to me, and there are so many good sweaters by this designer. Now I have something lovely for you (although I bet you already know all about it): NPR reported yesterday that some farmers in Tennessee are switching from growing tobacco to growing indigo. This short and boxy cardi, with texture on the front panels, looks like something you’d want to put on day after day. That being said, while it’s not a cardigan, my Norwegian grandpa style dreams include a handknit islender (the Norwegian name, meaning “Icelander,” though I suspect Faroese origins originally) at some point in my future: https://www.I did not think the high-low cocoon back think would work for me, and instead I fell for it and bought the yarn on the spot! The v-neck makes it look cooler (ventilation-wise), and less bulky than a traditional menswear cardigan. And since our dear Cara Davis has successfully knit four versions of La Maison Rililie’s Blue Sands Cardigan (bonus: also an excellent loose-fitting cardi with pockets), I feel great confidence in this pattern. All I have to add is that I tried on the sample for Trailhead and it was just as fabulous in person as in the photos. Again, for moi, given my strong-which-is-not-to-say-bulky shoulders, I have a slight suspicion of the raglan sleeves, but nearly 600 people have made it on Ravelry, and it looks good on everybody.

This is as if Zika suddenly mutated into a virus that does nothing but make babies healthy and whole. The slim but skimming fit is what I’m looking for, and excellent pockets like these corrugated ones.Kay, this is all well and good BUT Rhinebeck is coming and chenille intarsia would be perfect for those chilly mornings fueling the flux capacitor on your DeLorean. I find it hard to find sweaters with set in sleeves these days because everybody seems intimidated by them! Cardigan raglan sleeve question to any and all: What am I doing wrong after knitting two raglan cardis and the raglan shoulders just seem to slip off? Our knitted cardigans are crafted from super soft material to ensure warmth and comfort when the weather isn’t there for you. And, I chose it because I, too, was craving an an all-over cabled cardigan like my own grandfather used to wear.

It’s a mix-and-match deal…straight sleeves, flared sleeves, v-neck, crew neck, no collar, folded collar, stand up/fold down collar, long body, shorter body. It’s a bit bigger in the body than the Charlotte Rampling sweater I’d admired, but (a) I love a coatigan (I know you do too), and (b) looking through the projects, it’s clear that the coaty-ness factor varies a lot depending on the choice of size. And, if you’re far more into blending in then we have plenty of cream, grey and black cardigans, too.I am small person and often knit small or medium and it seems like there is not enough knitted at top. The stand-up/fold-back collar is the same as on the Ranger cardigan I knit so happily earlier this year. Amy Christoffers is a real sweater maven, and I love the idea of a Linney in a workhorse yarn like Berroco Ultra Alpaca. I’m not kidding: when the readers of this blog get the bit in their teeth, they bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan.
