The Layan Cardigan is a tailored cabled cardigan using fingering weight yarn, and the pattern has just been released! 😍 The name comes from the Arabic word for soft, gentle, and tender, and that feeling carries through the whole design. It is a classic, wearable piece that works well in any wardrobe. The construction as usual is a seamless top-down one, with the sleeve caps worked simultaneously with the yoke, so you can try it on as you go. 🤩 The cable pattern is simple and repetitive and once the top of the yoke is done, it settles into an intuitive rhythm. The double-knit button bands give a very clean and professional finish. There is also a full construction deep dive on YouTube if you want to go through the build in detail before casting on. 🤓 Use code LAYAN at checkout for 20% off, valid until 29th March, midnight UK time. 🎁 Newsletter subscribers, check Wednesday's newsletter for your exclusive code. 🙂

Curious is the mock seam for design only or is there a purpose? I like to know the ins and outs of how things work.

And I am soo happy :-D It's becoming too hot to wear it now, but it will be there waiting for me when the cold season arrives again. Thank you @Zanete Hussain for this great pattern, I am now hooked on your designs so there will be more to come! See you soon!

The Pasaka Sweater is the second design in my Tribute to Latvian Mittens collection. The name means "fairy tale" in Latvian, inspired by a traditional mitten that reminds me of a snow flake so perfect it could only exist in a fairy tale. ❄️ The construction is a top-down round yoke and the stranded colourwork has some longer floats in places, which should be caught using the Ladderback Jacquard method. The pattern includes videos, as well as charts with suggested ladder placements. There's also a full construction deep dive on YouTube if you want to see me go in more detail. You can use code PASAKA at checkout on Ravelry or Etsy for 20% off, valid until 22nd March, end of day UK time. Newsletter subscribers, if you haven't already seen it, last Wednesday's newsletter will have your exclusive code. P.S. Discounts cannot be applied after the transaction has been completed.

Thanks so much Zanete for a beautiful pattern and community to be a part of. I really enjoyed seeing everyone’s posts. Knitting is such a universal experience! Seeing where everyone is from is so enjoyable. I will definitely participate next year.
