Pattern Release - Glen Shiel Cardigan

10/29/2020

0 Comments

 
Picture
We’ve just released our Glen Shiel Cardigan knitting pattern! It’s classic cardigan with a pretty lace pattern and a cosy shawl front. The lace pattern is simple and straightforward, and it knits up fast with DK yarn and larger needles. This is a perfect winter warmer – one you’ll want to snuggle up in every day! Available in eight sizes to fit bust from 30 – 60”.
 
This cardigan is worked in one piece from the hem up to the underarms, then stitches are divided and we work the two fronts and the back separately, then we rejoin fronts and back with a three needle bind off at the shoulder. Pick up stitches round the armhole for sleeves which are worked flat and seamed, and to finish off pick up stitches round the front of the cardigan for a shawl collar. Shown in size 85-90 cm/34-36” on a model with 34” bust.

A versatile knit with a wide range of sizes from newborn to adult large, and three colourwork options letting you create beautiful and unique hats for every occasion. Perfect for using mini skeins or leftover odds and ends of sock yarn too! The pattern uses dipped stitches which look just like waterlilies, hence the name of this pattern.

Callater Sweater Pattern Release

10/24/2020

We've just released our latest pattern, Callater Sweater. It’s a sweet and simple children’s sweater with zigzag colourwork detailing. Worked from the top down using a yoked construction, this straightforward knit is totally seamless. Available in 9 sizes to fit newborns to 11 year olds.

it's been a bit quiet from Littletheorem Knits HQ lately, but I've got a very good reason for it.... I just had a baby three weeks ago! (Hence the newfound interest in baby knitting patterns....)  This is my first ever children’s garment pattern, knitted for my new baby daughter, and Glen Callater is one of my favourite places on the planet. I climbed my first ever munro (the classification for the highest Scottish mountains) from this glen and have stayed in the bothy there many times. The zigzag pattern in grey and blue is reminiscent of the peaks that surround it and the waves of the loch. I only hope the wee one grows up to love exploring the hills there as much as I do!


The pattern for Callater Sweater is available on Ravelry, Etsy and here on our website at a 50% discount until midnight (GMT) on 29th October with coupon code CALLATER50.
