A drapey, snugly, cozy pullover for fall, the GLEN

A drapey, snugly, cozy pullover for fall, the GLENWOOD pattern is 25% off in my Ravelry shop through Monday, November 18, no code required. Click the link in bio for details!⁠
⁠
“The oversized, top down pullover we’ve all been waiting for, Glenwood by Cheryl Toy is made in our lightweight Weld for an all-season comfort sweater. This cabled and textured pullover is made seamlessly and finishes with a polished tubular bind off.”⁠
⁠
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.⁠

Don’t you love “Festival Schwag”? I do! That

Don’t you love “Festival Schwag”? I do! That’s how this lovely skein of Koigu KPM came into my hands and became the Raspberry Dash Fingerless Driving Gloves. Got a souvenir skein in your stash? RASPBERRY DASH is FREE this week in my Ravelry shop, so click the link in bio for the coupon code and cast on!⁠
⁠
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.⁠

Scale and contrast are the highlights of this pull

Scale and contrast are the highlights of this pullover, with its strong, graphic patterning and bold two-shade color work. RHYS is in the Spotlight this week! Click the link in bio for details.⁠
⁠
“Super modern, super cozy, super fun to make + wear! RHYS knocks it out of the park with its swoncho shape, bold + modern yoke motif, and overall cozy feel. This pullover is work-from-home and weekend lounging ready. Made seamlessly from the top down, Rhys is knitter-friendly and delivers “one more row” syndrome from cast on to bind off!”⁠
⁠
Between Rhys and Glenwood (H+W Spring 2020), you may notice a developing fondness for the dolman line. With Rhys, I particularly enjoyed the “swancho” style because of the blank canvas quality of the extended yoke. Deeper patterns with larger motifs are suddenly possible in an elbow-length area as opposed to one that ends at the underarm. Rhys features a deep, elbow length yoke with plenty of room for the extra large graphic fair isle motif. It’s an easy two-color stranded project.⁠
⁠
What can I say about the magnificent Forge? It is everything I love in a worsted weight yarn. Wooly and warm yet soft and with a certain silkiness, Forge is unexpectedly lovely against the skin. It boasts a slight halo and a demi-worsted twist that highlights every stitch. And check out the color range! It is sublime and growing every season.⁠

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.⁠
