"This cozy sweater beautifully blends the comfort of a classic oversized cardigan with thoughtful design details to create a flattering and easy-to-wear garment. The deep raglan yoke enhances both comfort and ease of movement, while the trim length of the lower body maintains a clean silhouette. A curved hem, crafted with short rows, allows the cardigan to sit slightly lower at the back for a tailored fit. The wide, blousy sleeves offer freedom of movement, tapering dramatically at the wrists for a sleek, flattering finish. Tailoring darts at the waist and back neck further refine the fit.

A curved short-row hem and mirrored suspender cables dress up this comfortable pullover in double moss stitch. The cables’ width is graded to match the finished dimensions of the sweater to ensure perfect proportions. The front and back are worked flat from the bottom up, with short rows shaping the hems; the straight torso makes for a long swath of predictable knitting. Set-in sleeves are knit circularly to the armholes and then completed working flat for a tidy fit and a stable finish. The ribbed neckband is worked to double length and then sewn down inside for a strong and elastic finish.

Blume is a classic pullover perching serenely in a comfortable spot between oversized and fitted. Its fabric features rippling cables surrounding purls on a predominantly stockinette body, rather like marbled rock or traveling vines. While expressively textured, the allover placement of the cables makes Blume’s fabric appear evenly balanced and leaves enough room for a deep and luxurious folded-over turtleneck to weather the crisp chill. This pullover in Arbor is worked flat, in pieces, from the bottom up, then sewn together. After assembly, the collar is picked up and worked in the round.

This lightweight pullover features a simple but beautiful texture pattern, created with tuck-stitch columns arranged over a reverse stockinette background. The wide ribbed hem and cuffs align with the columnar motif, as well as the garter stitch neckband which maintains the unbroken line of stitches as it is worked.

A good Pi Shawl is always welcome in my knitting bag. This type of construction, developed by Elizabeth Zimmermann in the 1950’s, is a perfect balance between mindless and attentive knitting. Upon completion of Chart A, the entire shawl will have only 4 total shaping rounds remaining. You’ll be amazed at how quickly this project will fly off your needles! Named after the stunning collection of poetry by American poet Walt Whitman, these pretty motifs remind me of the Spring Thaw and the plant life that returns after Winter’s end.

“To give the basic Aran pullover a little pizzazz, I added the bias cables on the front and back pieces. They add interest not only by changing the flow of the cables, but by changing the entire silhouette of the sweater. The biasing gives the slightest hint of a peplum and accentuates the waist naturally. And to keep the femininity, the neckband is a soft rollover versus a traditional ribbed neckband.” – Michele Wang Designer: Michele Wang Collection: Fall…

“During the design process, my aim was to create a timeless garment containing both traditional and modern features. I chose a diamond motif with moss stitch that I saw in a fisherman’s sweater because not only is it a beautifully textured stitch, but I can also use it either as a single line of diamonds (as in the sleeve) or a line of multiple diamonds (as in the body). Instead of having a traditional vertical line of purl stitches on either side, I used stockinette stitch to encircle the motif to keep the whole design clean and simple. The sweater is knit top down.

Kumon is the perfect balance of mindless and mindful and familiar and exciting, encouraging the hands’ second nature by beginning with the well-known rib stitch before seamlessly flourishing into sumptuous half-brioche.

The garment in Arbor is worked flat in one piece from the bottom to the armholes, then back and fronts are worked separately to the shoulder.

Architectural lines and innovative construction elevate an aviator cap you can knit with a single skein of Shelter. Lolo is worked sideways from a provisional cast-on; crown shaping is achieved with short rows while increases and decreases form a sinuous brim that covers the ears. Lines of slipped stitches flow across the garter background to accentuate the shaping and create sculptural shifts in texture. This unisex hat can be knit in multiple sizes by changing needle size and gauge; directions are given for 18” and 20” circumferences.

“This design draws inspiration from both the new and old. I was intrigued by the modernity and drape of an oversized dolman tee, and I also loved the soft femininity of the simple, delicate prints of liberty cotton and vintage summer dresses. This pullover combines the two into the best of both worlds: a gentle, fern-like, allover cable motif joins with a loose and wonderfully drapey shape to create the perfect spring or summer sweater.” – Bristol Ivy Designer: Bristol Ivy Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Coastal knotwork intersects academic cables in Chenier’s elegant composition.

The Tilda Cardigan takes a great basic shape and embellishes it with whimsical details. The column of eyelets along each side seam begins at the hem and flows directly into the raglan lines on both fronts and back. The stockinette button band is flanked on either side by a pair of simple cables, while the garment’s body and three-quarter sleeves are trimmed with an optional contrasting color rolled edge. The generous scoop neck begs to be styled with shirts featuring interesting collars (or cowls).
