Belloguardo cardigan is my newest design published on Wool studio Vol.5. My blog was so quiet last few seasons because of my health issue. I did knit as usual all the time but I didn’t get a chance to publish new pattern or even finish Objects. Things are getting better slowly and luckily get chances to work with some publishers and yarn company early this year. But I can’t post or show photos before the issue is published. So, I had to wait till right time.

Return to talk about this Belloguardo cardigan, It was so fun to work. I love the concept of the issue and always had a plan to make hoodie cardigan for myself. Like monk’s cloak. Deadline was quite tight. But, I enjoyed whole process.

The Belloguardo Cardgian is an avant-garde interpretation of a traditional monk’s cloak with a dramatic oversized hood and billowing side wings. The shape of this cardigan is engineered with a sturdy broken-rib stitch that adds texture and interest to the fabric. The cardigan is worked from the bottom up, starting with each wide peplum.

Medalion Blouse

04/27/2015 By in Pattern Tags: , , , , Leave a comment

It’s almost end of April. My shoulders are getting better and I’m ready to knit again.
Preview of Interweave summer, 2015 is up a couple days ago. I have to write up something on my blog hurry.
I’m so lucky to show two of my designs on the knit.purl S/S issue. Introduced Labyrinth cardigan already and It’s time to talk about Medallion blouse. I got inspiration about this garment from insect. Especially beetle.
This blouse has very unique shape. Back width is larger than front. Also, Back armhole depth is deeper than front.
Suggest over 10″ positive ease for your bust size. I’m sure it has very comfortable fit.

Labyrinth cardigan

I’m back! 🙂 I was so quiet last two months. I have a pain on my right lower shoulder since I was a little girl. It was no big deal and I knew how to deal with it. But, pain came back to me again and I needed to time to take care of myself.
It was peaceful and lazy vacation from all crafty things.
I feel much better. I can’t wait to hold yarn and needle on my hands anymore.
Also I would love to show my newest design titled Labyrinth cardigan in knit.purl magazine.

Finished Size 30 (32 ½ , 36, 39)” bust circumference, buttoned. Cardigan shown measures 30″, modeled with 4″ of negative ease.

Yarn Fibra Natura Good Earth (53% cotton, 47% linen; 204 yd [187 m]/3½ oz [100 g]): #103 desert, 8 (8, 9, 10) skeins. Yarn distributed by Universal Yarn.

Notions Markers (m); stitch holders; tapestry needle; 7 (7, 7, 8) 1 1/8” buttons.

Gauge 23 sts and 29 rows = 4″ in Rib and Welt patt.

Worked in one piece to the armholes, this jacket features an allover maze-like pattern of knits and purls that creates ribs and welts across the fabric. The effect on gauge is intriguing. Because the fabric behaves much like a rib, choose a size with negative ease.

I will be back with my onother design. Happy Knitting!
