Mad about yarn? Get ready for a autumn cardigan mystery!
Regn, Swedish for “rain”, is worked from the top down and in one piece, using worsted or aran weight yarn – making this a good wardrobe piece for autumn and winter. It’s a good opportunity to play around a bit with colors, but it can also be worked using just one or two. The fit is relaxed – preferably the same or slightly larger than your actual bust circumference. Sleeves are full length, but this is of course up to your personal preference. And not to forget – the whole garment is worked in garter stitch, so not a purl stitch in sight!
The pattern will be published in five different clues, as follows:
Clue #0.5
Clue #1 – September 18th
Clue #2 – September 25th
Clue #3 – October 2nd
Clue #4 – October 9th
Clue #5 – October 16th
Make a swan dive into either stash or yarn store right away! I hope this will be a fun mystery for many to enjoy! Please share this with other knitters, so even more can join and share the fun!
