How to cable cast on for the underarms and join the front and back yokes in the round for the body on Glenmore. This tutorial will be useful for almost any top down sweater.
Glenmore is worked top down, so the first step is casting on for the neck. This post covers the cast on, setting up your markers, working lifted increases to shape the shoulders and establishing the stitch pattern.
Take a look at the finished Glenmore's from our Preview Knitters. Preview knitting allows you to see the sweater on a wider range of bodies than the modelled shots and see what the knitters said about their sweaters.
If you're currently looking for a comforting knit that doesn't require huge amounts of attention and a bit of gentle structure please join us for a simple, relaxed sweater knitalong.
Ready to join the shoulders on your Granton? Our photo tutorial will help you walk you through the steps for seaming the shoulders and picking up for the sleeves.
The angled pockets on Granton and Wardie are the perfect size and angle for your hands and anything else! Learn how to join the pocket using a three-needle bind off.
A long line cardigan with pockets is a wardrobe staple and I designed Granton, and its lighter weight sibling Wardie, to take that place in your wardrobe. Designing a basic garment is all about the small details, for Granton and Wardie my driving goal when choosing those details was creating a garment that you’d reach for again and again. Some of the techniques used might seem a bit intimidating when you first read the description, but they’re all used for a good reason, and adding them to your repertoire will level up your handmade sweater skills.
Granton, Wardie’s older sibling, uses a thicker yarn, and has an easier button band more suited to the gauge. Granton is a classic long line cardigan with a deep v-neck and cosy pockets.
Bleideag is easy and relaxing to knit, available in a wide size range, and would be perfect for your first colourwork sweater project! The larger needles and quick chunky gauge make short work of this classic wardrobe staple. Here are links to tutorials that will help you tackle Bleideag, every step of the way.
