I am excited to share with you Pickwick, inspired by my love of cables and a charming village near my hometown. This was a design that had been waiting in my sketchbook for the perfect time. With Pickwick, I had the opportunity to design with a brand new base, Intrepid, from Miss Babs. This yummy 100% Targhee Wool was a dream to knit with! I am excited to share the Pickwick release as part of the Miss Babs 2023 Winter Collection.
ABOUT THE CONSTRUCTION:
Pickwick is knit from the top down with short row shaping at the back neckline and a raglan sleeve construction. The body is knit in stockinette stitch to the hem where you finish with a rib and cable pattern. During construction the sleeves are placed on hold to return to later. When back to the sleeves, it’s stockinette and an elegant cable and rib finale. The final fit has some positive ease and it rests at or just below your waistband.
This is a great project for daring beginners to advanced knitters looking to expand their timeless handmade wardrobe.
THE LITTLE DETAILS:
Designed for worsted/Aran-weight yarn. All your yardage info and a full schematic are available in the Lookbook.
For me, Pickwick is that classic garment in the sweater wardrobe that will never fade out of rotation. I can’t wait to see your versions soon! Please enjoy 20% off with code PICKWICK20 at checkout (on Ravelry or my website). Happy Making!
