Silvija: big lace pattern cardigan
January 22nd, 2012 § 2 Comments
When I saw the yarn named Silvija (50 g/150 m, 70 % wool, 30 % silk), I immediately knew I would like to make a shawl collar cardigan with a big lace pattern. The yarn is rather exotic to find but luckily it can be easily substituted with other yarns. The pattern comes in three sizes (S-M and L) and is easily customizable. It is a top down seamless cardigan: try on as you go. The pattern is free and can be found on Ravelry here.

Vertical Ruffle SKIRT
This reverse stockinette skirt is perfect for many occasions. It can be elegant with hose, or practical and cosy with thick tights and boots. The front ruffle gives it a very now feeling, and is easy to make.
The skirt is knee-length but easily adjustable in length. It features a folded waist with elastic to hold it up.
Design notes
Edging: The edges of this garment are designed to curl. If you don’t want that on the bottom, you can add a folded hem.
Yarn: Should be yarn with lots of drape. I advise alpaca or a mixed yarn with silk or plant-based yarn to add drape. A 100 % merino with lots of bounce might be less suitable.
