It’s a good thing he is cute

Wool & Pine has a new pattern. This is the Sea Glass Cardigan and you can purchase the pattern on Ravelry.

Every stashbuster’s dream! This seamless raglan cardigan is knit from the top down, allowing you to play with virtually any yarn combo. For our sample, we used Charlotte DK yarn by Sugarplum Circus in Celery (green sample), Sea Glass (blue sample), and Twig (brown sample) for the main color, paired with DK, worsted, and fingering weight yarn held double for the contrast colors. It’s perfect for using up those tiny scraps in your stash!

Effortless Finishing

Design Details

This V-neck raglan cardigan is knit from the top down, allowing you to focus on the fun part—playing with colors and yarns! With flattering V-neck shaping, you’ll get a great fit, and the only purl stitches are in the ribbing for the shawl collar (or buttonband), hem, and cuffs.

Our video tutorials reveal a game-changing solution for handling yarn ends. Our easy steekless i-cord technique eliminates the need to weave in ends and ensures you knit only on the right side of the fabric—no purling colorwork! This method also creates a secure and smooth selvedge for your cardigan without the need to steek, cut, or sew your knitting.

Speaking of colorwork, the entire cardigan is knit using a basic stranded colorwork technique called 1x1. This means you alternate between the main color and the contrast color every stitch, creating a beautifully blended effect.

We’re also offering two collar options to complete your raglan cardigan: the cozy shawl collar as shown on our green and blue samples and a classic V-neck buttonband style as shown on the brown sample. Whether you opt for toggle buttons or traditional ones - or none at all, the possibilities for closures are endless. We can’t wait to see how you make this cardigan uniquely yours!

Construction Details

Sea Glass Cardigan is knit from the top down using a faux “in-the-round” technique with raglan increases. This method involves sliding the stitches back to the beginning of the row after each round, eliminating the need for wrong side colorwork.

After splitting for the body and sleeves, the body is continued in the same faux “in-the-round” construction, finishing with 2x2 ribbing.

Before working the sleeves, the ends are secured using our innovative i-cord technique, detailed in the pattern with video and photo tutorials. This eliminates the need to weave in ends. The sleeves are then worked in the round and finished with 2x2 ribbing. Finally, you pick up stitches for either a button band or shawl collar, giving you flexibility in the final look.

Another order is on the way from Emma’s and it should be here at the beginning of July. There will be 6 brand new Theme Packs. All colours are coming in Practically Perfect Sock and Super Silky. Minis would be a great addition to your stash for the Sea Glass Cardigan.

We can’t tell you what our colorways look like (although you know we are DYEING to), but if you have a customer blindly looking for a coordinating color, “After Dark” and “Grayscale” are both safe bets this year! This years colors are very different than years past, so there should be no concern over getting the same sort of colors again.

The last day to order the Smalliday 2024 sets has been extended. You still have time to preorder your kit.

Fred has a hot spot so now he’s wearing a cone. Beth bought the blow up kind which took all of us to blow up. No one was paying attention and Fred has already chewed the strap that holds it together. It’s a good thing he is cute.
