“Ink” is the perfect cardigan to slip on when the balmy days of summer transition to the chilly days of autumn. Named for the color of the yarn, it is also a reminder that autumn brings with it the beginning of a new school year. Knitted in fingering yarn and reverse stocking stitch from the collar down, the cables on the garment bring to mind the V’s of birds flying south for the winter.

After having made “Naturally Yours” last year in collaboration with De Rerum Natura, I decided to revisit this lovely and versatile yarn and design another open front cardigan (…my favorite type of sweater!).
“Crossing over” is worked top down and seamless (…my favorite construction method for sweaters!), starting from the wide collar, followed by the yoke and the body.
The back in an easy to knit half brioche stitch pattern features an interesting shaping detail based on an updated version of the shaping used in my “Wien” pullover, with a larger backcrossing that moves first “up” and then “down”, where in “Wien” it meandered only in one direction.
This comfortable and laid-back cardigan will add interest to any casual outfit!

“Naturally Yours” is worked seamlessly top-down from the collar to the hem in raglan construction with accented raglan lines, asymmetric sleeve cables and A-line shaped fronts that overlap at the bottom. Short rows slightly elongate the rounded back in comparison to the fronts, creating just the right “natural shape” for a comfortable fit. Waist shaping on the back is already accounted for in the cable panel, which is fully charted and written out at the same time. Figure in convenient pockets, hidden in the wide hem, and an interesting textured stitch pattern, featuring reverse stockinette and half cardigan stitch as well as intricate cables cleverly incorporated into the overall construction, and you already know that this garment is practically “Naturally Yours” even before you start knitting it!

If you like to experiment with colors by knitting a sweater, and ordinary fading is not enough for you, it is also worth to try marling.
Marling is one of the easiest methods of colored knitting – all you have to do is connect two strands of yarn in different colors. However, if at the same time each one of the yarns is of a different fiber blend and structure, and you change every few rows to a new color, you can get a unique piece of knitwear with exclusive colors.
This is the method I used in the “Almandite” sweater.
“Almandite” is a classic and elegant open front cardigan knitted from the top to the bottom in one piece with two strands in different colors held together. To achieve smooth transitions and extraordinary colors, the strands are separated in the indicated places and replaced with new colors. An additional effect is added by an interesting textured pattern, complemented by a wide collar knitted in garter stitch.

This unostentatiously elegant, but not overloaded cardigan is worked top down seamlessly by first knitting the back panel sideways and afterwards picking up stitches along both edges to create the back and then both fronts.

 Stitches for the set-in sleeves are picked around the armhole after the body has been finished. Sleeves are then shaped with short rows and end in elegant cuffs wide enough to accommodate a blouse underneath. These cuffs, which repeat the lace pattern from the back panel, are worked sideways in a special technique so they are still seamless.

 Stylish button bands with paired imitation stag-horn buttons on a stockinette stitch background are bordered by narrow cables that repeat at the sides of the sweater. A rolled stockinette stitch neckline tops off this versatile garment.

“Backtracked” is a seamless cardigan worked from the top down using a special raglan construction, where raglan increases at the back are cleverly hidden in wide zigzag pattern bands reminiscent of tire tracks. The wide zigzag strips continue towards and over the sleeves down to the cuffs, while narrow zigzag bands mark the imagined side seams.

Collar, hem and sleeve cuffs are worked partially in double knit, partially with a slip stitch pattern.

Open-front cardigans are my favorite ones because they are so versatile – and never too tight to close! I found this intriguing cable pattern on the internet and liked it so much that I decided to develop a whole garment around it – here it is:

“Boxed and Cabled” is a boxy cardigan with a broad horizontal cable strip starting at the center back and continuing all over the sleeves. Work begins with the cable panel, then stitches for the back are picked up from the edge of the cable strip, and the back is continued down to the armholes, after which stitches for both fronts are picked up at the top edge of the cable panel, working here, too, down to the armholes, where the parts are joined and worked together down to the hem. When the body is completed, sleeve stitches are picked up, and the sleeves worked down to the cuffs. This cardigan is comfortable, versatile and interesting to knit – all of it, of course, completely seamless!

and back are then joined and worked back and forth to hem. Sleeves are picked up from the armhole opening and worked in the round to the cuff. Bust size is given as twice back width, fronts will overlap slightly. Choose the size with 10–14” of positive ease.

“Skimback” is a loosely fitting buttoned cardigan with a modified raglan construction. Worked top down with almost no finishing, it features wide ribbing, cable panels that continue from the back towards the sleeves, extending down to the cuffs, and more cable panels placed on the back which move towards the center to mimic waist shaping.

As in the “Laceback” and “Backtracked” sweaters, this design, too, uses different shaping for the Fronts and Back.

Tanta (Basque for “drop”) is a button-less cardigan worked seamlessly from the top down in one piece, starting with a wide shawl collar. The unusual upper body construction is achieved with sets of strategically placed increases, resulting in a modified saddle shoulder.

A while ago I had been contacted by Kim Goodling, the owner of The Gotland Wool Company, who raises Gotland sheep in the U.S. and sells her yarns online and at festivals. Kim, who liked my garments combining lacework and Stockinette, wanted a pattern for a short pullover, cardigan, or vest that would show off the qualities of her wonderful yarn with emphasis on maximum yarn usage, since with this type of high-end yarn, overall project cost is often a concern.

Having never worked with Gotland yarn before, I was very curious to learn how it would knit up and what would look best to showcase its advantages. I found it to be a truly beautiful yarn that didn’t want to be spoiled by overloading it with features or drowning out its structure!

We agreed that from the colors Kim picked, I would design a cardigan in two lengths to give knitters an option of deciding on the overall yarn amount used: regular and cropped; as well as with a short and long sleeve version.

Vermont is a classic top-down raglan sweater knit seamlessly with textured lace back. The pattern contains four styling options: cropped, regular, short sleeve, and long sleeve.

“Vermont” was designed in collaboration with The Gotland Wool Company.
