Brooklyn Tweed Persimmon

Amy Christoffers’ tailored cardigan is a perfect balance between casual comfort and finessed fit. The allover mock-cable texture adds a rustic quality, and a zipper-front makes it a perfect cardigan for layering. The sweater is worked with two strands of Loft held doubled, creating a parallel-plied worsted weight yarn with added warmth and great stitch definition.

“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.

This comfortable cardigan has a flattering shape and beautiful detailing. Cuffs, back neck, front torso and front bands are decorated with textural nupps (traditionally found worked in finer gauge yarns in Estonian lace motifs) and eyelets. The garment is worked from the bottom up and utilizes a seamless set-in sleeve construction. The finished garment is trimmed with applied I-Cord around cuffs, buttonband, hem and collar. We think Sullivan is a sweater you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again this winter. Designer: Whitney Gegg-Harrison Collection: Wool People, Volume…

This open cardigan in braided cables and airy lace makes use of bias fabric to create unexpected angles and intersections at every turn—an alluring split at the nape of the neck, a mitered hem with a flattering line of chevrons at the sides. The back and fronts are worked flat from large charts; the stockinette sleeves are also worked flat and sewn on. Deep pockets warm your hands and hold your treasures. Apex is the kind of garment you can throw on to pull any outfit together, so choose a color from the Shelter palette that coordinates with your wardrobe staples.

Wrap up two elegant ways in the same cocoon cardigan. With the ribbed edge upward, Shoji features a shawl collar, three-quarter length sleeves, and a garter hem deeply split into tails at the center back. Turn it upside down and the fronts hang with an intriguing zigzag, the sleeves bare your elbows, and the ribbing curves gracefully below hip length. The knitting is simplicity itself: a long rectangle of pebbled texture folded and sewn into the final shape, with stitches picked up for the double-ribbed collar after assembly.

Sethera is a classic “grandpa-style” cardigan with lots of modern twists. The colorful stitch motif, which is worked flat, offers an endless array of choices in Shelter yarn with its rich, varied palette. Made with woolen-spun 100% Targhee-Columbia wool, Shelter creates a rugged yet soft fabric that knits up fast while staying lightweight and bouncy. With minimal shaping and slim dropped sleeves, Sethera is an ideal layering piece. Sethera is worked flat in one piece to the armholes.

Haskell is a slightly cocoon-shaped cardigan bequeathing comfort to its wearer whether lounging or knocking about through cottage garden paths. An expanse of shifting broken rib surrounds panels of beaded cables for texture that is a delight to knit in pillowy Quarry — and all the more fascinating to watch as shadows are cast over the interplay of knits and purls giving the appearance of woven tweed from afar. Trimmed by garter stitch at the hem, yoke, and shaped collar, Haskell is the epitome of a knitterly hug. This cardigan is worked flat, in pieces, from the bottom up, then sewn together.

“This relaxed, easy cardigan is cozy enough for chilly spring days and light enough for sunnier times. Its worn-open style looks smashing over dresses or jeans, and the waist shaping (located on the back of the piece only) provides elegant, gentle curves. Asilomar is constructed in pieces from the bottom up, with set-in sleeves. The lace trim is worked in line with the cardigan fronts to the shoulders, then continued to form the back neck. The neckline’s garter trim is picked up and worked once the sweater is seamed.” − Amy Herzog Designer: Amy Herzog Collection: Wool People, Volume…

Relax on the porch with a mug of hot cider after you’ve raked the last of the leaves. This simple, slouchy cardigan is a breezy knit, just right for autumn evenings, and a great way to play with fall accent colors. Cristina Ghirlanda chose to work Shelter with larger needles to give the finished garment lots of drape and swing. Corbara is worked seamlessly from the lower back; the fronts are added with increases. The piece is divided at the armholes and the back and fronts are worked separately, with short rows shaping the shoulders before they’re united with a joinery bind off.

This playful, feminine pullover in Shelter features an airy, flared skirt that visually narrows the hips. Traditional lace motifs leaven the classic gansey texture of cables and moss stitch. The body is worked in the round to the underarms; the upper front and back are knit flat. Exaggerated drop shoulders create an embellishment at the upper arm, and since the sleeves are worked downward, the braided cable appears to flow down to the cuff instead of climbing. Short-row gussets with fashioned decreases shape the upper shoulders and neckline.

An open-front cardigan in Quarry with a dramatic ribbed collar adds a note of cozy chic to your wardrobe. Three-quarter length sleeves balance the volume of the ribbed lapels, which are shaped with short rows worked at the ends of the collar rather than around the neck. Exaggerated drop shoulders create a flattering curve and seam detail at the upper arm. Opt for tubular edges for a professional finish or substitute your favorite standard method for a sweater you can knit up in a flash. The pieces are knit flat and the collar is worked on stitches picked up after seaming.

This comfortable Dolman cardigan is simplicity at its best. Worked in Garter Stitch with Seed Stitch trim, Acadia is worked in three separate pieces and seamed together to provide structure to the lofty fabric. Dolman sleeves are shaped directly from side of body by way of casting on groups of stitches along the edge of your fabric. Finished with natural wood buttons, this is the perfect cardigan for relaxing on Sunday morning. Designer: Carrie Bostick Hoge Collection: Wool People, Volume…

A boxy, open-gauge cardigan in Quarry: the ultimate in slouchy comfort that doesn’t sacrifice good looks. Riverbend’s hem is shaped with short rows so that the back is several inches longer than the cropped fronts. The deep V of the neckline makes it easy to layer. All pieces are knit flat, and we chose to assemble them with the purl side facing out, but instructions are also given for exposing the traditional knit side if you prefer. Two options are given for resolving the short rows so that they’ll be least visible on the public side of your garment, whichever side you’d like that to be.

“I liked designing this poncho with a little more structure; the turtleneck, seamed sides and armhole openings will make certain this poncho doesn’t twist around or become too fussy to wear. The allover cable and lace stitch motif make it quite the fun knit and a statement piece.” – Michele Wang Designer: Michele Wang Collection: Fall…

Like early morning sunlight flickering through curtains, clusters of blackberry stitch warmly speckle the surface of Maybeck. Sleek saddle shoulders are cleverly worked in the round from the top down, allowing you to try on as you go for a perfect fit. Striking braided trim lets your personal style shine — go bold with a contrasting color as we’ve done, or choose a single color to highlight the luxurious layers of texture in soft and springy Peerie.

“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.

“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…

Make a sweeping statement in this dramatic long coat with an innovative notched collar in cartridge rib. The fronts are cut away from hip to hem to swing freely open, and the drop shoulders create just a touch of detail at the narrow sleeves. The body is worked flat in three pieces and seamed; stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armholes and knit in the round to the cuffs. The collar and lower front extensions are picked up and knit after assembly. In woolen-spun Shelter, Corvid moves beautifully without weighing you down. Designer: Jared Flood Collection: Winter…

“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…

Driftwood is the perfect knockaround sweater for fall – with an oversized fit, luxurious ribbed turtleneck and a soft, squishable stitch pattern, you’ll love wearing this at home or on the go. Because the Loop Stitch is denser than regular stockinette stitch, you will work the body fabric of the garment on a larger-than-average needle for a worsted weight yarn; this is necessary to create the supple cushion-like fabric that makes this sweater so irresistible.

Coastal knotwork intersects academic cables in Chenier’s elegant composition. Innovative braids frame the central iterations of this elevated vest, creating balance between the high tucked-rib neckline and the swingy split hem. Equally at home penning poems on a craggy coastline as nursing a cup of tea in front of a toasty fire, Chenier works wonderfully into your lifestyle in any of Arbor’s luxe colorways. Complete the set with the Ballantine fingerless mitts in a matching motif. Designer: Fiona Alice Collection: Grey Coast Share on social…

Rhythmic all-over cables in Shelter produce a handsome, seaworthy cap that’s quick and satisfying to knit. After a short band of 1 x 1 rib, the hat breaks into a geometric motif of interlocking tiered cables. Perfect for knitters who have tried some basic cables and feel ready for more challenge, the charts are predictable and easy to memorize. The pattern includes a modification for a slightly shorter beanie length. Deep texture means the pattern won’t be lost in dark colors, so this design is a good choice for Cast Iron, Soot, Artifact, Old World, or Plume.

Julie’s Turnagain cowl is a masterful study of color and pattern – featuring a double-sided fabric composed of two distinctly different (and equally appealing) striping patterns. This versatile piece allows for several styling options: display the bold, color-block-style of the first side or the rhythmic, narrow stripes of the other. Shift the position of the fold line and you can display a combination of both sides while wearing. With four different colorways included, and endless options for your own color creativity, here is a great opportunity for a truly one-of-a-kind accessory.

This dramatic open cardigan makes the most of deeply textured brioche stitch. The blanket fronts are adorned with reversible cables and hang with a flattering tilt, thanks to architectural back shaping. Carpeaux is knit from Shelter in one piece to the underarms, with sleeves knit circularly to the caps and then seamed in. The cables are charted, and thoughtful details like garter stitch selvedges and tubular edging give this garment professional polish. Designer: Jared Flood Collection: Winter…
