“Transition Zone Cardigan” is now available! I just love my newest sweater design – especially the fact that it has pockets! The pockets flow naturally from the transition between the two different stitch patterns. This is the perfect sweater jacket! I have been wearing mine (and using those pockets!) every morning the past week or two as Maine begins to experience those cool and frosty Fall mornings.
I chose Bartlett Fisherman 2-ply for this design – a warm and woolly aran weight yarn that has been a favorite of mine for over 30 years. I love the heathered colors, the sheepy smell, and the cozy feel of this authentic wool. I knit so many sweaters, hats and mittens for my kids from this yarn over the years – it feels very nostalgic for me. Other yarns that would work really well for this design include Briggs and Little Heritage, Brown Sheep Lamb’s Pride Worsted, Peace Fleece Worsted , Lion Brand Fisherman Wool and any of the other wonderful real wool aran weight yarns out there.
