YOTH Cardigan
This week one more cardigan flew off my needles - the project for YOTH yarns that I started this Fall is over and I am a little bit sad to let it go... It was a pure joy to work with Father in Hazelnut, this yarn has such an amazing stitch definition and it knits like butter!
YOTH cardigan is a top down cardigan with the yoke shaped as a compound raglan to ensure the perfect fit. It's "framed" with a classic 1x1 rib neckband with a collar shaped with the help of short rows. The border is finished with an i-cord bind off.
It has a very "clean" and refined look, just like YOTH yarns company whose aesthetics I tried to reflect in this knitwear piece. And, of course, I couldn't not add some texture to it. I played around with the stitch that has been one my "to-knit" list forever, changed it a little bit and was very happy with the result. It reminds me, for some reason, of the palm leaf...
I also love the wrong side of the cardigan - it has a completely different look, but also creates a very interesting texture effect! What I am also really pleased with is that this stitch is very stretchy, which will ensure that the body of the cardigan fits you perfectly even if your gauge was a little bit off.
Father is very quick to knit with! I would definitely recommend it to beginners as it's very easy to create neat and crisp stitches in this yarn.
One more little detail that I love so much is a slightly curved edges of the border that create beautiful smooth lines.
The cardigan will fly to YOTH yarns soon, and though I am a little bit sad to let it go, I am really excited to see how YOTH team will style it - so looking forward to their photoshoot! I am sure they will do a great job, I really love how they present their yarns and knitwear. The pattern will be available through YOTH Ravelry store in winter 2017. You can follow YOTH yarns on Instagram @yarnonthehouse to keep up with all the updates.
I hope you are having a wonderful week!
See you at Yarn Along!
