Hello all! It’s time to celebrate the release of my latest design Jiree! Made on the large (yellow) Knifty Knitter or the new long Knifty knitter looms, Jiree is offered in three sizes: infant(20″ chest*), child(30″ chest*) and adult(44″ bust*)! It can be made as a tunic style vest or add sleeves for a cozy cardigan! *this is the finished measurement of the sweater, the wrap front allows for it to be crossed over and wrapped for smaller sizes.
The materials used are a Boucle yarn such as Bernat Soft Boucle 200 yards for the infant version, 400 for the child version and 600 for the adult version! Techniques used are: cable cast on, garter stitch (alternating rows of knit and purl),making a flat peice on a round loom, and making and I-cord. (all techniques with the exception of the cable cast on are available in my book Learn to Knit on Circle Looms, or simply click on the technique names for online tutorials!)
I would say this is a great pattern for an advanced beginner, a newbie who is looking for a bit of a challenge!
The Jiree pattern will be on sale for $4.99.
