Cabernet Bolero

Learn It

This project was made as part of a Craftsy course:
The Perfect Fit Seamless Crazy Lace Cardigan »

Difficulty:

Category: Knitting

Type of item: Clothing

For: Women

Style: Funky, Whimsical


Materials

Multiple yarns. The inspiration yarn was the cabernet colored yarns Frill and Pearls by Prism yarns. I added several other colors that coordinate with the color scheme. I just had a skein of Sublime Cashmere Merino and silk in Aran left over from another project. These are all odds and ends.

What was your inspiration?

The inspiration yarn was the cabernet colored yarns Frill and Pearls by Prism yarns. I love mixing and matching yarns. I used the Pearls yarn as my gauge swatch being careful to use the larger yarns in only one or two row intervals.

The thin fuschia ribbon is Filatura Di Crosa Elena, Frill by Prism, String of Pearls by Muench and Pearls by Prism. There is one yarn that I lost the ball band and can't remember the name of the yarn. The Pearls by Prism uses the yarn String of Pearls as a base and the yarn has some color that is discharged giving a varigated look. I need to update my picture. I am almost finished with the sweater.
