Brooklyn Tweed Breckon

“This cardigan was inspired by a desire to play with volume and drape in combination with a strong, architectural stitch pattern and clean, flattering details. The deep, bell-like swoop of the bottom hem is balanced by the tailored shoulders and three-quarter length sleeves, and both are complimented by the soft falls of the fronts and shawl collar. Add to this an interesting take on traditional raglan shaping, and you have a cardigan that’s both intriguing to knit and effortless to wear!” – Bristol Ivy Designer: Bristol Ivy Collection: Wool People, Volume…

“This cozy cardigan is equally suited for curling up at home in your PJ’s, or for a stylish, layered look while on the go. The body is adorned with classic knit-and-purl patterns—moss stitch punctuated with chevron insertions—while the button bands and shawl collar are worked in a supple English Rib pattern (also known as “half brioche” stitch). The garment is partially seamless, from hem/cuff to underarm. The raglan yoke for each piece is then worked flat and seamed upon completion.

"The Checkers Cardigan evokes the patched flannels or plaid work coats that were the mainstay of Grandpa’s closet. Meant to be a roomy layering piece somewhere between a coat and a cardigan, this garment is worked in a welted checkerboard pattern for an extra-plush fabric that holds in warmth. Choose to work the shawl collar option and give the cozy and nostalgic factor a boost. Select colors that are high-contrast and keep Checkers true to its namesake, or opt for a tonal pairing for a more subtle take.

Knit a floaty open-front cardigan to layer over dressy or casual outfits as you enjoy the last of the soft weather. This study in the intersection of curved and angular lines uses innovative seamless construction to form a strikingly graceful back. The graphic garter rib elements shift and slope with precisely placed decreases, and an unusual bottom-up construction brings the fronts up and over the shoulder to create a strong central spine of joinery bind-off, like the wales of a boat meeting at the keel.

“This is my idea of the perfect knock-around sweater. With a comfy loose turtleneck and slightly oversized fit, it’s incredibly comfortable to wear any time, anywhere. The colorblock stripes are knit in a combination of two tones of yarn to create a unique and richly marled fabric. Worked seamlessly with very little finishing required, it’s a great on-the-go or beginner knitter project. As a tribute to my grandfather, Chester Garfield Dutton, who passed away at the age of 94 while we were working on this collection, I named this pattern after him.

“My love for slipped stitch patterns continues with this design, an all-over texture that from a distance gives the main fabric a woven look. The fit is oversized to create a cardigan that can be worn with multiple layers of clothing. I can picture it worn over a t-shirt in mild Fall temperatures or as a third layer over a shirt and sweater when the temperature drops.” – Julie Hoover Designer: Julie Hoover Collection: Fall…

Cocoon in a fabric at once quiet and expressive. Putting humble knits and purls to good use, Watermark exhibits a harmonious meshing of easy to love (and accomplish) textures: grid stitch, furrowed ribbing, and classic one-by-one ribbing. Nestled in between each are panels of geometric cables, branching to form chevron diamonds that shine when the light hits just right. Contemporary construction details designed to flatter, like modified drop shoulders and gentle waist shaping, marry fabric, pattern, and shape all together — the patch pockets don’t hurt, either!

Wrap up in cozy style. This graphic cardigan translates all the energy and impact of striped triangular shawls into an eminently wearable blanket-front sweater. Skew is worked top down from the neck ribbing, then front stitches are put on hold while you establish the triangle at the back. Then the whole yoke is worked at once, stitches are set aside for the sleeves, and the work continues to the ribbed hem. All the back increases are completed at the center to maintain the chevrons, but balanced by decreases at the sides so that the fronts are not angled.

“For me, this cardigan falls solidly into the category of a wardrobe classic. It’s a garment that can be worn casually over a t-shirt or more dressy over a blouse, but it’s also fitted enough to be worn with the additional layer of a jacket or coat without becoming too bulky. I especially love the texture of the woven rib stitch pattern. With a simple I-Cord finish on the neckline and fronts and three-quarter length sleeves, it has a distinctive tailored look appropriate for all seasons.” − Julie Hoover Designer: Julie Hoover Collection: Winter…

Wrap up in contemporary fall style: a swingy open-front coat knit from cozy Quarry. The original crosshatch stitch pattern, worked from a chart and easily memorized, forms a fabric with bands of deep texture. The body is worked flat in one piece with decreases shaping a gentle A-line; long sleeves (designed to be cuffed back) are knit in the round and then joined to work a circular yoke. The front bands and collar are picked up and knit in single rib, with short rows shaping the collar. A single toggle allows you to close the fronts if desired.

Wrap up in subtle colorwork reminiscent of fine needlepoint. This jacquard long cardigan in five shades of Loft features chevrons worked with purl stitches to interlock the colors and create intriguing texture.

Set-in half sleeves keep the proportions balanced. Belt your cardigan closed or let the fronts hang open as you prefer. Designer: Véronik Avery Collection: Winter…

The elegance and interest of the Decq cardigan lies in its understated box shape and studious neckline.

With just enough seams to lend structure, Decq finishes smoothly with sleeves picked up and knit in the round to the cuff. This cardigan is sure to delight in any setting.

“Stranded colorwork always seems so appropriate for the Winter season to me. The patterns created by the two colors are so festive, brightening up those late winter days that can be so dreary. The floats on the underside create an incredibly warm fabric making this turtleneck the perfect sweater for those sub-zero temperatures!” − Michele Wang Designer: Michele Wang Collection: Winter…

“The inspiration for Loess came from my life on Île de Ré, an island off the west coast of France — very wild and natural, with a little smell of sea spray. This stole is light, soft, and worked with bands of crisply defined patterning.” – Christine de Castelbajac Riffles of openwork and crossed stitches punctuate the smooth surface of stockinette in this elegant, modern scarf. The pattern offers two sizes, a small scarf and a generous wrap.

“When Fall arrives, I love bringing my favorite ‘knockaround’ sweaters out from summer storage and reintegrating them into my wardrobe. This classic pullover is an homage to coziness, featuring a generous cowl neck worked in squishy Brioche Stitch, a subtle A-line silhouette, doubled sleeve cuffs, and a Brioche Stitch yoke. The graphic Brioche columns spotlight the full-fashioned shaping details at the garment’s shoulders and neckline.” –Jared Flood Designer: Jared Flood Collection: Fall…

Earn an advanced degree in lace with this stunning stole from Leila Raven, a long-time contributor to Wool People and Brooklyn Tweed collections who’s given us favorites like Stasis (Spring Thaw) and Bough (Wool People 6). Mirepoix’s geometric zigzags of three distinct motifs involve double-sided patterning, but the work becomes rhythmic and intuitive after the first repeats. The chevron mesh border is worked together with the main fabric of the stole and wraps the corners to become a knitted-on edging at the short ends. Two short grafts make for an all-but-invisible finish.

Colorblocking meets ombré in the Mélange scarf. Imagined as a knitter’s version of paint-by-numbers, five strands of laceweight Vale are held together in differing combinations of light and dark colors to create subtle shifts of tone and value. The medley of light and dark make for well-blended yet striking sections up the scarf, while the multiple strands worked together amplify Vale’s softness and cushiony bounce. The sweater shown on the model is Jared Flood’s Backbay pullover from the Fall 2014 collection. Designer: Jared Flood Collection…

“Tilting diagonal bands radiate from the center of this square first in one direction, then the other, through the border. Paired eyelets separate bands of stockinette stitch and moss stitch, with leaves sprouting from the border to create an edge in soft contrast to the clean geometric lines. Sweet, simple, and quick to work up, this shawl would make an equally wonderful baby blanket.”− Leila Raven Designer: Leila Raven Collection: Wool People, Volume…

The on-trend silhouette of the Collomia pullover offers a dramatic canvas for a timeless stranded colorwork yoke. The woolen-spun texture of Shelter yarn softens the bold stripes and ornate snowflake motifs. With seams only at the underarms and knit at a worsted gauge, Collomia is just as alluring to knit as it is to wear. Knit from the bottom up, the front and back of Collomia are cast on separately for the split hem, then joined knit circularly in one piece. The colorful yoke is worked in the round.

“I’ve been enjoying experimenting with diamond-shaped lace motifs, and how naturally triangular shawls grow out of them. I like their harmony and balance. This particular variation on the theme was inspired by flowering bulbs — crocus, lily, amaryllis.” – Amy van de Laar This airy triangular shawl will look beautiful over a dress or tank. Classic construction — top down from a garter tab with spine and edge increases — provides a structured canvas for a field of lacy blooms growing within diamond motifs.

This rectangular lace stole is worked in two separate halves. The first half is cast on at the outer edge and worked in towards the center. After the first half is complete, stitches are put on a holder and the second half is worked in the same manner as the first. After both halves have been completed, the live stitches from both sides are grafted together invisibly using Kitchener Stitch. This directional method is used so that lace motifs are vertically mirrored on both halves. Designer: Jared Flood Collection…
