Oh, frabjous day! I’ve just finished blocking a new pullover in Frabjous Fibers’ Mad Hatter yarn, which is a hand-dyed superwash sport weight yarn that is absolutely lovely to knit. This is Anneke, a modernized version of a classic design from Quince and Company:
Oversized and lightweight, bottom up in the round to the armholes, shaped with short rows and joined with 3-needle bindoff at the shoulders, sleeves picked up and worked in the round to the cuff. It features a bit of gansey-style patterning at the yoke, both back and front:
The 3-needle bindoff is done on the right side of the sweater, providing another subtle detail:
Otherwise, the knitting is quite plain and very enjoyable in this lovely yarn. One caution: be sure to block your gauge swatch before jumping into the sweater – it’s important with superwash yarn!
We have a wonderful selection of colors at this time, every one of which would make a beautiful sweater if you’re so inclined:
Teal, silver, evergreen, fuchsia, rose, denim, gold, periwinkle, navy, red and medium gray. Come get yours!
