Ruby Cardigan in The Knitter Magazine, Issue 106

My Ruby Cardigan is in Issue 106 of the Knitter Magazine! My elegant fitted cardigan is knitted in West Yorkshire Spinners Illustrious DK, a gorgeous blend of Falkland wool and British alpaca.

A combination of eyelets and twisted stitches make a pattern of linked gem stones. The rubies are made by extending the lines of twisted stitches and adding a large eyelet centre. The linked gems are separated by long lines of eyelets extending from the cast on edge to the shoulders and neckline. The set in sleeves and the sides of the cardigan are knitted in stocking stitch.

Each sleeve has a pair of ruby motifs at the cuff. The front bands are knitted at the same time as the fronts and then completed with the neckband.

The lovely WYS yarn combines softness and great stitch definition and has a lovely drape.
