Introducing my new cardigan design. The Ombré cardigan was inspired by my desire to knit a fun garment using two strands of Pink Label Lace Weight yarn held together. The resulting fabric is squishy yet light, the perfect little cardigan!
This is a fitted cardigan with a v-neck and 3/4 length sleeves. It is well suited to endless colour combinations, but of course, I chose my favorite shades of blue for my version (cobalt and midnight). I love how it adds a pop of colour to any outfit.
I'll be bringing hard copies of the pattern along with plenty of lace weight yarn to the KW Knitter's fair with me this weekend. Tomorrow I'll be debuting another new pattern, it's going to be a busy week!

This is adorable and it's going on THE LIST. :) Question for a sweater noob, what am I meant to measure to figure out what size I am for this one?
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty cardigan! Such a nice way to use multiple yarn strands.
ReplyDeleteLove the photo of you Tanis! It's super cute that the chair matches the cardigan :) - which I love, by the way.
ReplyDeleteI love these photos!! fave photo shoot ever. Can't wait to be wearing my ombre cardi, too!
ReplyDeleteLovely cardigan. And the chair is gorgeous too, love the way it matches your outfit!
ReplyDeleteThis is the perfect autumn sweater! We should start a KAL for it!
ReplyDeleteThat is gorgeous! I think if I were going to make an intermediate size I would use 3 colours instead of just 2 - then I'd only need 3 skeins of yarn instead of 4.
ReplyDeleteSo lovely- I love the idea of lace weight held double. I actually just did a woven scarf with weight lace held double- great minds think alike :-)
ReplyDeleteLove this! I don't knit a lot of sweaters, I'm going to have to do this one.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh it's so gorgeous Tanis. Love the fit, the colour transitions, and the photos!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Casting on soon!
