    The Wild Love Bomber Cardi Pattern

    My latest design, the Wild Love Bomber Cardi Pattern. This design is made using Wool and the Gangs shiny happy cotton, an Aran/worsted weight yarn, and size 5mm straight knitting needles.

    The majority of this sweater is an easy knit and knit flat in five separate pieces. The back, two front panels, and the sleeves. After completing the knitting, the sweater is seamed up using the invisible horizontal and vertical seaming methods. The stitches used include 1×1 twisted ribbing, stockinette stitch, and garter stitch. The sleeves have increases, which are very easy to do once you have gotten the hang of it.

    The only thing that I wouldn’t consider so easy, is the picking up stitches for the edging on the front and creating the button holes. The pattern does include the link where I learned to create the buttonholes if further assistance is needed.

    The fit style of the Wild Love Bomber Cardi is a relaxed, cozy, and slightly oversized feel. Perfect for layering over a tank or tee, any season. I am loving the retro style vibes of it! I had a photo of my dad from when he was probably in his 20’s tucked in my notebook and it must have kind of influenced the vibe. ❤️

    The pattern for this cardigan is available in my Etsy shop, by going to the Shop link in the Menu above.

    Design | The Inez Summer Sweater

    The Inez Summer Sweater is by far my new favorite summer knit! This design is comfortable and has an open breezy stitch work, perfect for the summer season.

    This sweater consists of four pieces total. You will first knit the two body panels, and then the two sleeve pieces. Because of the open stitch work, it is a fairly fast knit as well!

    The yarn I chose for this sweater is Wool and the Gangs shiny happy cotton. The main color I used is ivory and the accent colors are chalk yellow, malibu, and coral crush. They remind me so much of the colorful, happy things of summer!

    This pattern is a one size oversized fit! If you would like to make it bigger, I’d recommend adding one additional repeat section for a medium and two additional repeat sections for a large.
