"Retro Revival Pleated Top" & "Southwest Dreamer Sweater", my contribution to Issue 8/2024 of ILikeKnitting magazine

The Issue 8/2024 of "ILikeKnitting" magazine is available and features my two new designs :)

Retro Revival Pleated Top

 

Inspired by 1940s style, the Retro Revival Pleated Top features short sleeves pleated at the top, deep hems and a crew-neck.  This top is crafted with columns of three-stitch cables and a two-color textured stitch pattern formed by stripes and slipped stitches. The hems and neck are worked in single ribbing with a contrasting color, adding a classic yet modern touch to this timeless piece.

Knitted with Scheepjes Metropolis yarn.

 Southwest Dreamer Sweater

The Southwest Dreamer Sweater features striking colorwork in geometric shapes and bright hues, evoking the vibrant spirit of the Southwest.
This stylish sweater is designed with full-length modified drop shoulder sleeves and a classic crew neck. The hems, cuffs and neck border are finished with double ribbing, adding a refined touch to the overall look.
This eye-catching sweater is both a fashion statement and a cozy wardrobe essential.

Knitted with Scheepjes Catona yarn.

"True blue" split crew sweater, and "Vintage eyelet waves cardigan", my contribution to 2/2024 of "ILikeKnitting" magazine

 So thrilled to see my new designs featured in the Issue 2/2024 of "ILikeKnitting" Magazine :)

True Blue Split Crew Sweater

 

The True Blue Split Crew Sweater knitting pattern intertwines three distinct stitch patterns, crafting a must-have V-neck sweater distinguished by its unique split crew-neck design which is a seasonal essential. Designed with intricate detail, the hems are elegantly worked in double ribbing, offering both a snug fit and a stylish touch. Knit flat from the bottom up, the backs, fronts and sleeves are meticulously created, ready to be seamlessly assembled. The front openings are adorned with stitches picked up and beautifully bordered in double ribbing, enhancing the sweater's aesthetic. To complete this charming piece, the crew-neck is skillfully picked up, adding a final touch of sophistication.

Made with Scheepjes Terrazzo yarn.

 

 Vintage eyelet waves cardigan

A classic beauty knitted seamlessly from cuff to cuff in a graceful blend of simple eyelet stitches and contrasting Garter stitch rows. The result? Mesmerizing wave stripes that undulate both vertically and horizontally, reminiscent of timeless vintage elegance.
