Spring Classics

Timeless twinset and sweaters

 

Cardigan with Semi Set In Sleeves from Book 8

Pattern includes long sleeves and short sleeves

The classic twinset in Yeoman Panama Acrylic/cotton mix.

The cardigan is a neat, classic length, has optional single motif lace detail, round neck (but with a fairly narrow band) and semi-set in sleeves.

Semi Set In Sleeve from Book 8Our semi set in sleeve has a shaped seam that moves the shoulder seam up to its correct position on the edge of the shoulder (see the white dots) and then.................

 

.....the classic jumper to complete the classic twinset; round neck, optional lace single motif panels and the semi set in sleeve for an Acrylic/cotton mix jumper that looks equally good on its own.

Just like the cardigan, the pattern includes instructions for long sleeves and short sleeves. Both are in sizes 34"-40"

Sweater with Semi Set In Sleeves from Book 8

Lace Sweater from Book 8

Another classic, and ideal for spring, is this classic length, round neck sweater in 4 ply Acrylic crépe which is particularly good at holding texture.

Our lace designs are knitted on Brother machines with separate lace carriages but it should be possible for Knitmaster/Silver owners to find a similar lace pattern that will knit up to the same tension.

Sized from 34"-40", with square armholes to raise the shoulder seam.

 

For those cooler spring days, another classic length sweater in tuck stitch, again knitted in 4 ply Acrylic crépe to show off the texture whilst having a slightly lighter look for the warmer weather.

Designed with square armholes to raise the shoulder seam.

Available in sizes 34"-40"

Tuck Stitch Sweater form Book 8
Some of these garments were designed for, and knitted in, 4 ply Acrylic crèpe (supplied by Bonnies or Bramwells); this yarn has a twist which gives the resultant fabric a more crisp look and a bright sheen. Bramwell's Artistic can usually be substituted and it may be worth trying an Acrylic/cotton mix, such as Yeoman's Panama, which will also give a crisper look but with less sheen.
These stitch designs are available on disk FS1 for either Brother disk drive or DesignaKnit
