Show and tell: cardigans.

Time for more show and tell! Today we’re looking at cardigans, that quintessential layer for cool mornings and chilly air-conditioning.

Here’s April modeling her “Big Love” cardigan by the very yarn she used to knit it, Brooklyn Tweed Shelter. She loved this yarn and pattern pairing so much, she knit it twice! This photo was taken before our Shelter completely sold out during our Farewell, Brooklyn Tweed sale – but we still have lots of BT Tones in stock at 20% off, if you’re inspired to follow April’s lead. Pattern by Ankestrick.

Liz knit this “Lemel” cardigan with Isager Alpaca 2 held double, making a particularly plush fabric. Pattern by Woolfolk Design Team.

Vivian came in wearing her “Cardigan No. 7,” by My Favorite Things Knitwear. She held Isager Alpaca 3 together with Silk Mohair, a delightfully soft and fluffy combination.

Here’s Michele’s “Hey Sailor!” knit with Malabrigo Ultimate Sock. This snazzy slip stitch pattern shows beautifully in tonal colorways. Pattern by Andrea Mowry.

Jaime knit this “Nordic Bloom Vest” with Kelbourne Woolens Lucky Tweed. At 4 stitches per inch, with no sleeves, it’s a quick project – even with the steek! Pattern by Caitlin Hunter.

Many thanks to the knitters who shared their projects with us today, and to everyone who starts their project with a trip to the Hillsborough Yarn Shop. We are inspired by your stitches and can’t wait to see what you come up with next!
