Hello, knitters! I hope this finds you healthy and happy. I’m popping in today to introduce my brand-spankin’ new pullover, Glenwood, worked in my new favorite yarn, Hudson + West Weld. I’m just thrilled to be part of this spectacular collection, Hudson+West Spring 2020.
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.
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.
I’ve finished Glenwood with an optional tubular bind off for a touch of elegant tailoring.
Glenwood, 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.
I’m hoping you’ll enjoy Glenwood as much I as I have! I’d like to extend a little discount for those of you who read the blog. Take 30% off the the Glenwood pattern through April 22, 2020. Just hop on over to my Ravelry shop, select Glenwood and enter the coupon code BGLEN at checkout.

Cheryl
