POINCARÉ features ribbed openings so hands are st

POINCARÉ features ribbed openings so hands are still useful! This week, the POINCARÉ PONCHO is in the Spotlight. Click the link in bio for details!⁠
⁠
Bell shaped and sweetly simple in form, the Poincaré Poncho begs to be curled up in. But with a quirky 60’s vibe and wide center panel, she’s hip and modern too. Worked from the top down, this poncho borrows from seamless yoke shaping techniques everywhere but its stand-out front cable panel which showcases diamond shaped twists that devolve into simple ropes and ribbing.⁠
⁠
Any time of year, it’s fun and practical to cast on transitional knits that can layer over lighter things. Choose from a wide range of muted shades from @trendsetteryarns. This is the time of year for versatility! Bell-shaped and simple in form, the Poincaré Poncho begs to be curled up in. With a quirky 60’s vibe and wide cabled center panel, it’s hip and modern too. A deep collar and hand slashes, both ribbed, make Poincaré a cozy choice. Worked from the top down, this poncho uses seamless yoke shaping everywhere except in its stand-out front cable panel that showcases diamond-shaped twists devolving into simple ropes and ribbing. Though the photo stylist chose to use the collar to create a draped neckline (which I think is very pretty), Poincaré actually has a wide, fold-over ribbed collar.⁠

Looking for the perfect oversized dolman pullover?

Looking for the perfect oversized dolman pullover? The GLENWOOD pattern is 25% off in my Ravelry shop this week, no code required. ⁠
https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/glenwood-4⁠
⁠
The Glenwood Pullover, with its softly draped dolman sleeves and deep ribbing is worked downward from an open, ribbed neckline. Increase points tucked in and around strong vertical cables that run from neck to hem create a generous dolman line. From stitches left live after increases are complete, deep ribbed cuffs are worked. The center panel is worked in simple yet engaging diamond-tuck texture. The effect is stylish, yet roomy and warm with a cozy West Coast feel. The airiness of Weld worked at an open gauge keeps it light and wearable.⁠
⁠
Intrigued by the emerging dolman trend I’d seen happening around the world of knitting, I worked with Hudson + West Weld to develop a shaping strategy that would create that open, draped dolman line. I used basic raglan shaping with carefully placed increase points in and around cabled and textured panels. Really, I wanted to exploit the natural drape of Weld, a blend of American sourced Merino and Corriedale while showcasing the yarn’s extraordinary stitch definition.⁠

This cool, modern take on your Dad’s go-to cardi

This cool, modern take on your Dad’s go-to cardigan features a lush shawl collar and deeply ribbed front bands. This week, take 25% off the BREWSTER pattern in my Ravelry shop. Click the link in bio for details!⁠
⁠
BREWSTER is begun at the bottom and worked upward, incorporating knitted-in pockets on the way. Brewster begins with an optional tubular cast on and uses the incredibly useful one-row buttonhole.⁠
⁠
A snuggly, warm cabled cardigan, Brewster is made for anyone who enjoys wrapping up in cables and shawl collars. There is something so hip and vintage about garter textured cables! Homespun garter and retro cables conjure up the City Light Bookstore in the 60’s and 70’s and wandering the foggy streets of San Francisco. Combine these with a wide shawl collar and classic bottom-up raglan shaping and you have Brewster, a cool, modern take on your Dad’s go-to sweater that is sized for everyone. ⁠
⁠
Two-stitch cables filled with garter stitch sit in relief on a background of reverse stockinette. They’re repeated on the raglan sleeves and devolve into deep ribbing at the hem and cuffs. Ribbing also edges the knitted-in pockets.⁠
⁠
Forge by @hudsonandwestco is truly the perfect balance between softness and durability and is available in gorgeous, carefully curated shades. I feel a little quiver every time new colors are announced!⁠

Years ago on a big tour bus whizzing to Toronto’s Knitter’s Frolic, I was given a goodie bag containing a skein of Koigu KPM in a bright raspberry shade. I believe that skein was a gift from @purlinjs! After a little thought and some swatching, that skein became the Raspberry Dash Fingerless Driving Gloves.⁠
