My latest design has just been released on Ravelry. It’s the Rainbow Hussar Pullover, a very easy wearing cotton pullover, with a lovely vintage style fit. I was inspired to combine the stripes of a Hussars Jacket with the fit of a vintage style pullover. My memories of Adam and the Ants may have had something to do with it. 🙂
For those of you who need some help to get started with the intarsia stripes, the Spruce Crafts has a helpful page for learning intarsia knitting.
It will also be available on LoveCrafts soon. Made using the super easy care Lily Sugar’n Cream Solids & Denim and Lily Sugar’n Cream Ombres yarns, it’s so comfortable to wear over a t shirt, and gives the warmth you need when the day isn’t warm enough just yet. There is shaping from the waist to the bust, giving just the fit I look for in my pullovers. I’m jumping out of my skin to wear this one. It’s turned out just the way I envisaged it! Any Worsted/10 ply yarn, should work for this, remembering that it is designed for cotton.
Sizes available are 74 (84, 94, 104, 114, 124, 134, 144)cm 29 (33, 37, 41, 45, 48¾, 52¾, 56¾) in
