Rhea
I love this new pattern by Pam Allen, made with Quince & Co Kestrel. Of course it’s a gorgeous spring/summer cardigan, made with gorgeous yarn, but it’s also knit seamlessly from the bottom-up (SEAMLESS is one of my favourite words, I can’t tell you how sexy I find it).
Skills
I think this pattern is probably suitable intermediate knitters or advanced beginners who are ready to take a leap forward. Special skills required include:
- long tail backwards-loop cast on (no biggy)
- short rows (intermediate skill)
- three needle bind-off (not a big deal)
- seaming (I know they said seamless, but I guess there is a bit? anyway, it’s good to learn & practice is the only way)
