Chunky Raglan by Sian Brown

Chunky Raglan by Sian Brown

This sweater by Sian Brown is knitted in Sirdar Husky Super Chunky (87% acrylic, 13% nylon). Body and sleeves are knitted in a rib pattern. Moss stitch is used for hems and collar. This garment is knitted flat with a raglan shape and oversized sleeves, the collar is knitted on at last. I like the shape of this raglan very much, but I’m afraid wearing it, will be a not so good experience. If you want to substitute the yarn, remember to look for a yarn, which has a great meterage or the garment will much more than only oversized!
Knitable in 5 sizes: 82cm (32′) to 102cm (40′)
Actual measurement: 100cm (39′) to 126cm 49½’)

Due to its great meterage (105m/50g) it is producing  beautifully soft and featherweight Autumn/Winter knits.  Swale is knitted flat featuring a raglan shape and a wide neck. The neckband is picked up and knit in a rib pattern. The gorgeous cables are floating from bottom to top on both body and sleeves. This pattern is originally published in Rowan Brushed Fleece featuring 16 designs by Martin Storey in Rowan Brushed Fleece.

Heart Jumper by Alison Robson

Heart Jumper by Alison Robson

Alison Robson used Rico Essentials Soft Merino Aran (100% merino wool) for her heart jumper. It is knitted flat featuring cables and intarsia motifs on front, back and sleeves. Well, what to say about this design. “Don’t wear it, if you are older than 5 years!” Nice cables though.

Cape by Sian Brown

Cables with a center bobble, divided by moss stitch panels forms the pattern. It is knitted flat in 3 pieces, which are joined at the shoulders and at the side seams.

Horizontal Cable Jumper by Jo Allport

Horizontal Cable Jumper by Jo Allport

Another jumper, that won’t work. Although a nice idea using a horizontal cable as a yoke it creates more problems than it solves. It creates a puffy shape at the shoulders and you will look like an American football player. If you like that, Jo Allport has used 2 shades of Debbie Bliss Paloma Tweed (50% alpaca, 30% wool, 14% acrylic, 6% viscose) for this garment.

Cocoon Coat by Linda Parkhouse

Cocoon Coat by Linda Parkhouse

Knitted coats are on trend! And this one is really great. And it is reversible! How fun is that! Linda Parkhouse used King Cole Gypsy Super Chunky (80% acrylic, 20% wool) and a slip stitch pattern for this garment. Only drop of bitterness is the weight of the finished garment (1400-1900g)
Knitable in 6 sizes: 81cm (32′) to 107cm (42′)
Actual measurement: 111cm (43¾’) to 136cm (38½’)

 

Poncho by Sian Brown

Poncho by Sian Brown

Well I would have used other shades of Designer Yarns Choice Aran with Wool (75% polyacryl, 25% wool) than Sian Brown for this poncho. And I would be afraid of the weight (approx. 1000g) of the finished garment. I love the shape and the big turtle neck collar, but hope that the weight of the garment will not stretch it to much.
To fit: One size
Actual measurement wrist to wrist 140cm (55′)

Garter Stitch Panel Top by Amanda Jones

Garter Stitch Panel Top by Amanda Jones

This top by Amanda Jones is really lovely, but don’t knit the sleeves in this pattern. Use garter stitch only or maybe a sequence of purl and knit rows, but try to avoid this pattern looking not very flattering. This top is knitted in Rico Essentials Soft Merino Aran (100% merino wool).
