As always, I thoroughly enjoy seeing your knitting projects and finished garments. Kate Davies (@fabrickated on instagram) recently shared some fabulous images of her finished projects and I just had to share them with you! She has been very prolific during lockdown and has knitted a Lorelle Jumper and a Bjelle Top. They both look absolutely fab on her, I am sure you will agree!
I love the neutral colour choice for both her projects, letting the simple shape and stitch details really shine, and how fabulous is her feather crown?
Lorelle is a circular jumper knitted from the bottom up with raglan shaping. The zig zag details on cuff, hem and yoke are created through twisted stitches and contrast between knit and purl stitches. The jumper is worked on 5 mm needles and there is very little finishing to do! You can learn more about Lorelle Jumper here.
Bjelle is a cute little top with dramatic puff sleeves. It is worked in seperate pieces, flat and seamed at the end. The front and back are both worked in stocking stitch with narrow rib edges. The sleeves have interesting shaping creating the puff sleeve effect. You can learn more about Bjelle Top here.
