I really enjoyed knitting this pattern. It was super easy and fast. The cabled neckline was what sold me on it and it is beautiful and different from any other ponchos I've seen. Instead of using the super bulky wool I used 4 strand of fisherman's wool which gave me the same gauge, and I made mine longer to my hips. With this change in the weather it is really something great to snuggle in to!
I made this for my daughter with Big Wool Fusion (now out of production), and it turned out so well, I'm making one for my other daughter. It looks so cute, and it was fun searching out a vintage pin to go with it.
I just made this for my 7 yr old daughter using Rowan Big Wool. LOVED the pattern!! Very clearly written and easy to follow with beautiful results. I made the M/L size which was slightly large for my daughter's head but you can tighten the ribbon a little for better fit so she can wear it for a longer time. It just took me a couple of hours and I am not a fast knitter. Highly recommend this line of patterns, I am going to knit Fantine for myself next.
This is a good pattern to use with various gages. It can be a starting point for designing something unique, or you can follow the pattern to create one of several modified patterns. The instructions are clear and easy to follow. Anyone who has not knit a sweater should try this, and anyone who has, will enjoy this.
I've only had this pattern for about a week and have already knit three sweaters. Top down sweaters are always so much fun and minimal finishing work. I used Rowan Big Wool Tuft for the first one (8 Skeins for a 34" bust). My boyfriend calls it the "Cat Toy" sweater because of the little tufts of merino which peak out enticingly. Used Big Wool, as called for, on the second one, very charming results. And, for the third, I raided the stash and stranded two different yarns together. The possiblities are endless and the pattern is clear and concise. C'est Magnifique!
If you're feeling as if you'd like something a little different, this is it. This capelet can make you feel like you're just out of a fairy tale or perhaps even a little bit exotic. The pattern is easy and the results are swift and satisfying.
I knit this shawl in no time at all out of a beautiful plum ribbon yarn. The pattern is so adaptible. It is the perfect item for when you need a gift in a hurry.
This pattern is very easy to knit, but don't let that fool you! I get compliments every time I wear Giselle. I feel slightly more elegant with that collar caressing my neck. It's a great pattern.
Such a stylish and quick pattern. I have made two so far (with two more planned). For my 5 yr old daughters, I made the XS size and it fit perfectly. The pattern is well written, and can easily be made in an hour or two. Violette would make a great handknit gift.
