New Pattern

Isabell Kraemer has a new pattern. You can purchase the pattern for Kallias on Ravelry.

Kallias is an open front cardigan and is worked seamlessly from the top down. 

Knitting starts with the back part of the neckband. Stitches are then picked up from the long edge of the neckband to work the back part of the yoke first. Increases along the slanted shoulder “seam” are worked on both RS and WS rows. Once the final back width is reached, the back is worked back and forth in slip stitch ribbing to underarm. Stitches for the fronts (left and right front) are picked up from the shoulder “seam” to work the fronts back and forth to underarm. At underarm both fronts and back are joined to work the body top down back and forth to the short row shaped bottom hem. As the front ribbing is built in, there is no finishing required. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the arm openings to work the sleeves in Stockinette stitch top down in rounds to the cuffs.

Isabell knit the cardigan with Aran weight yarn. You can use Cascade 220, Biches & Buches Le Lambswool, Malabrigo Rios or Blue Sky Woolstok.

I would highly recommend any pattern from Isabell. Her instructions are well written and the fit is amazing. 

Solemate kits from Freia Fibers are online.

I made it to the decreasing. I am confident that you will be able to make the L/XL hat with one Minikin.

 It’s time for The Amazing Race Canada. I like all three teams who are in the finale. I’m going to work on my Temperature Blanket so I can pay attention to the TV.
