Cascade is a sideways knitted cardigan

The version above was knitted in Yeoman’s Panama, 4 ply, at T7 on a standard gauge machine. 30 stitches and 42 rows per 10cm/4 inches.  The pattern should have this information, but the wrong file keeps appearing - the wonders of technology!!!

This is a 4 ply waist length cardigan.  You can knit it as I have done, with no front, like a shrug, or with a V-necked front.  Most 4 ply yarns are suitable, you may have to adjust the KM tension - I knitted it in Shamal and used T6 [the pattern says T7, which I would use with Superwash wool]

Flare

This is an elegant cover up for a sleeveless dress. Knit at T10 in Yeoman Grigna, takes very little yarn. Click on picture for pattern.

Hybrid

This is a standard gauge 4 ply pattern for a cardigan, which begins as a pair of sleeves knitted as one piece. Then a circular piece, a 'skirt' is knitted on. The first picture is with a handknitted skirt, the second a machine knit one. Other suggestions are included.

A simple pattern using Yeoman's Fifty Fifty yarn. Large range of sizes. [chest size 30 - 56 inches]

Knitted in Yeoman Panama [but could be any suitable 4 ply yarn] it took about 300g for the second size

Lambswool shrug with narrow cable edging

This is knitted in 2 ply lambswool [I think it would work well in any 2ply] and includes advice on how to make the front edge more rounded, if desired.  Sizes 12 - 26.

Mohair Swirl

This is a variation of the Grigna Swirl, but with a more waisted shape, and long sleeves.  I have knitted it in Yeoman Elsa mohair, which is 3 ply, at Tension 10 on the standard gauge, which comes out as a fine but stable and warm cardi.  Takes very little yarn and flatters the figure.  Click on picture for pattern.

Rapture

Is it a wrap or a poncho? It is neither, but a cleverly designed garment by Pat!

Swirl in Grigna

This pattern is adapted from a hand knitted one.  I knitted it in Grigna, but also in Hobby, although I did not like it as much - it was a bit finer/looser, and did not drape as well.

Swoop

size 34-44

This is a cardigan knitted with a long shawl collar, which combines with a wide bottom border to produce a swooping shape.  I knitted it in Yeoman Panama, but other 4 ply yarns would do just as well.
