Gear Cardigan

I don’t have many requests for knitted garments from my lovely husband. But if I have one I try to postpone all my current projects and knit for him before he changes his mind. This time I was asked to design open front casual cardigan for him. So please welcome my Gear Cardigan. This is the first male pattern in my collection and debut of my husband in modelling.

This comfy cardigan is knitted with bulky weight wool yarn. So it is quick and easy project for those who love knitting with large needles. I used The petite wool from We Are Knitters for it. As my husband is not a big fun of cables and complicated patterns I decided to use two matching textured stitches for this project. 

Deep neck opening with ribbing along the front edges finishes this style perfectly.

This timeless cardigan is a perfect garment for both countryside work and city adventures. It is warm, cosy and stylish.

The knitting pattern for it is available from my pattern stores:

Fancy Twist Hat and Cowl Set

I’ve been knitting a lot for my kids recently but today I’d like to share a knitting project which I knitted for myself for this Fall.

It is super cozy and super stylish Fancy Twist Hat and Cowl Set.
It was my first experience with bulky yarn from We Are Knitters. I used The Petite Wool in Spotted Beige colour for my set. I absolutely love the result and this super soft and super warm yarn.

The hat body is knitted with pretty twisted stitch rib back and forth but the brim of hat is knitted in the round in order to avoid seam on the edge. The matching cowl is knitted with combination of two stitches and can be worn in different ways.

The knitting pattern for Fancy Twist Hat and Cowl Set is available from my pattern stores:
