I used the recommended yarn and I found the pattern super easy to follow. It’s fast to knit and feels like something that I will wear a lot. I love that I could easily customise this too now I’ve made it once
I give the pattern five stars and my execution four stars :-D. The pattern is very clear, the videos are great as always. I used Drop Snow, which grew a lot with blocking, so that is something to be aware of if you are aiming for a particular length (I had to rip the sleeves back and reknit the cuff). I'd also really recommend finding a stretchy bind off you like.
The colours were Dark Ivy (10 balls) and Purple Mulberry (2 balls) for a size M.
Goed beschreven basispatroon voor een vest. Ik heb het gebreid met 1 draad cool wool lace en 3 draden Silkhair handdyed van Lana Grossa
I’m not a stranger to knitting/crochet/sewing but I’ve only ever knitted one jumper for myself before, and that was over 35 years ago. So I was fairly confident that this would be a manageable task! I wasn’t prepared for how quickly and satisfyingly it would come together. The instructions and videos are superb and I have already recommended the pattern to several crafty friends. A great project - there will be more! For this one I used drops snow in petrol.
I chose this cardigan as my first ever knitting pattern. I found it really easy to follow, the video helped and I googled a few things to make sure I really understood what I was doing. I love my little raspberry cardi. I altered it a little so it is more cropped but it was so fun to make and I will 100% get more patterns from you guys.
