We’ve heard what subscribers want more than anything: free patterns. Technique is good too, but it’s patterns that seem to win out. And for this month, that’s a good thing, as January is usually the month of serious trade show preparation for all of us at Caron and Bond. It’s TNNA this weekend and CHA the following week, so, to make up for a lack of detailed technique this issue, we’re putting up a total of five free patterns.
The three-piece pattern grouping in black and white Simply Soft® features a long knitted skirt, a basic but shaped pullover and a long hooded vest, a look that is becoming very popular these days. The set was designed by Heidi Stepp (and the models are my daughter, Naima (who’s been knitting on the USM since she was 6 – she’s now 29), and her friend, Sara, who at the time were both professional models).
 There are two patterns from the current ad for our Ultimate Sweater Machine: a Fair Isle yoked pullover in Simply Soft and a hooded Bliss and Simply Soft zip-front jacket, both designed by Kathy Perry.
The hooded jacket is incredibly soft and yummy in Caron's Bliss and the tunic will help you practice your advanced stitching skills with very forgiving Caron's Simply Soft.
These five patterns should keep you all very busy ;-) until the next Buzz in February! |
