My newest pattern has just been released in issue 110 of Knit Now. It is in the shops right now, so if you fancy a few lovely projects for the holiday season, head out to grab a copy! It is also available online, check out the website here. The lovely images are ©Knit Now.
My design is called Carla Jacket and I designed this to be the ultimate cosy garment. It has a generous amount of positive ease meaning that you can easily wrap the fronts round yourself for some added warmth. The jacket is knitted mainly in stocking stitch with ribs at the bottom and front edges. The rib has a simple slip stitch detail to create a subtle pattern. The most important thing for me with this design was the pockets. A knitted cardigan with pockets just feels so comfy!
The cardigan is knitted bottom up and the body is worked all in one piece. Sleeves are worked separately. The neckline has a gentle slope and the shoulders have short row shaping to create the perfect fit.
Carla Jacket is knitted in Alpaca Classic from Rowan Yarn. The yarn has a cotton core with a fluffy alpaca fibre halo creating a lightweight and soft yarn. It doesn’t shed whilst working with it and the end result feels luxurious and warm.
If you fancy a copy of the pattern, make sure to get your hands on issue 110 of Knit Now!
