Pattern for Audrey cardigan

The pattern for the Audrey cardigan is available to download in my Ravelry store, you can also get it 

online here. The pattern is in English. I have more pictures of the cardigan in a blog post from a few days ago.

This is one of my favourite patterns,

happy knitting!

A cardigan named Audrey

The Audrey cardigan is knitted with Garnstudio Drops Nepal and Andes both in cream white. I used some lace knitting stitches by Hitomi Shida from the book Knitting Patterns Book 250, but the design and pattern for the cardigan is by me. My sister is wearing the cardigan in the beautiful landscapes of Algarve.

The sleeves and and neckline have a trimming consisting of a purl edging and bobbles.

The buttons and the edges are crocheted using the Andes yarn which is more bulky than Nepal.

The backside of the cardigan is very decorative with the intricate lace knitting pattern. I find that it is best to use lighter colours when knitting lace so that the shapes and structures become more visible.

Knitting a cardigan with lace

 I am currently knitting a cardigan with intricate lace. I found the stitch pattern through a great site with many different lace stitches: www.laceknittingstitch.blogspot.com 

The ones I chose to use are from the book Knitting Patterns Book 250 by Hitomi Shida (lace knitting stitch #14 and #49).

 Yarn used is Garnstudio Drops Nepal, I am knitting with 4 mm so that the lace doesn't become too lose.

For the sleeves I added a strand of bobbles to make it more interesting.

Tröja Frida

                                                       Tröjan Frida är färdig! 

Designen är egen och det var en utmaning att få allt att gå rätt ihop men jag är ganska nöjd med slutresultatet.

  Tröjan blev lite spänd så jag stickade flätor som jag sydde fast för att få mera bredd på det hela. De små blomknapparna hade jag i förråd sen förut. Till sist virkade jag kanten med knapphålen.

Tyget till denhär klänningen hittade jag på Eurokangas bitavdelning förra sommaren. Då var det som hetast och jag ville snabbt göra en sommarklänning så det fick bli en väldigt enkel modell.
