The lovely Megan Goodacre has a new book out and we are delighted that she’s used our yarn in one of the 20 projects! It’s a book series you might even be familiar with, Idiot’s Guides: Knitting Sweaters.
The Draped Front Cardigan is a charmingly feminine sweater, with beautiful drape and soft, delicate details. Our Silk Crush is the perfect match! Wear it loose and open, or wrap it closed with your favorite shawl pin. As you knit, you’ll enjoy the top-down seamless construction and easy short rows on the collar. Treat yourself to a merino silk blend, like the one shown here, for something really elegant.

These pictures don’t really show how the front drapes, though! Can you put up more pictures?
I found one more and added it to the post. Thanks so much for asking about it. :) It’s a cute little cardi, don’t you think?
