Happy St. Patrick's Day! I thought it was fitting to release a green sweater pattern today and I'm hoping the weather will warm up enough in the next few weeks I can shed my parka and just wear this outside.Pattern: Hibernate (see sidebar)
Yarn: 8 (8,8,9,9,10,10) skeins Quince and Co. Puffin (100% American Wool); 112 yds/102m per 4 oz / 100g skein). Shown in #129 ‘Parsley’
1 skein Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran; 100 yds/91 m per 50g skein). Shown in #300008 (dark brown) or about 60 yds of any aran or worsted weight yarn
Notes: The body is knit from the top down with the upper body worked in pieces to the bottom of the sleeve openings and then joined together, then worked in pieces for the pocket openings. The sleeves are worked from the top down using short row caps.

I recommend wearing it with 2-4” of positive ease, as it's a bulky yarn. It's suitable for a beginner knitter.
As with many of you, I'm sure, my heart and mind have been with the people of Japan this week and the horrific situation that they are continuing to be faced with. For the next month I'll be donating 50% of sales from all my patterns along with my own donation to Doctors Without Borders to assist Japan.
Happy Spring to you! Here's hoping a green sweater will encourage some new green shoots of life through all the snow.
So pretty! Love the buttons and the neck - hope it's a success :-)
ReplyDeleteAn absolute wonderful job Chris! I love all the textured stitches on it. How fitting to wear it on St. Patricks Day. A beautiful green to welcome in Spring.
ReplyDeleteYay, the pattern for Hibernate is out! (And has been all along, I was just too excited reading your text to look at the pattern store column on the right.)
