Emelie Cardigan
Another cropped cardigan is done and I love how it turned out!
If you are (or someone you know is) a hockey fan, you need to check out Hat Trick and Hat Trick Semi-Solid collection from River City Yarns!
I’m not a hockey fan but I couldn’t resist the beautiful deep green colour of the Hooking colourway!
Pattern: Emelie pattern by Elin Berglund on Ravelry
This pattern comes in three lengths and in twelve sizes (if I counted right, there're so many!) I'm so thankful for the designers who can make patterns that fit so many different body sizes.
I chose the shortest length to pair with my fit and flare dresses.
The dress is Lilou Dress, and while it's a great pattern and I love the fabric, this dress has gotten pretty loose over the year that I can't wear anymore. I need to alter it but altering is the least exciting sewing project, isn't it?
I'm just in love with this deep yet fresh green! It's so so beautiful. I love that is a semi-solid so you can see many shades of the green.
I had been looking for the perfect green buttons to match the cardigan, but didn't have a luck. And then I spotted them when I was in sewing heaven, Nippori Textile Town in Tokyo, Japan!
The back is simple stockinette stitch, the front has elegant lace and cable panels! This was my first time trying short rows (the beginning of the sleeves), It didn't turn out as neat as I wanted to be, but it was very interesting to knit.
The Hat Trick yarn worked well for this pattern, very pleasant to knit, it's comfortable to wear.
It's soft but is bouncy at the same time to hold the shape well. It's 80 % merino and 20% nylon superwash, so it should be tough enough for washes too.
There're so many beautiful colours in the series, I think I will knit another Emelie in a different colourway of Hat Trick Semi-Solid sometime again!
I think it fits me pretty well, I also really like the length of the sleeves :)
Have you knitted Emelie cardigan or worked with Hat Trick yarn?
