Valley Yarns Holyoke Collection Ebook: Complete Knitting Pattern Set
Overview
The Valley Yarns Holyoke Collection Ebook is a downloadable PDF resource featuring six distinct knitted garment designs. This comprehensive pattern collection offers a variety of projects suitable for knitters seeking structured, wearable pieces with clear construction guidance and multiple size options.
#798 Illi Cardigan
What is Being Made: A long cardigan jacket designed by Kirsten Hipsky, featuring a cozy, roomy fit ideal for fall and crisp weather. The garment includes functional pockets and a collar, making it practical outerwear for everyday wear.
Finished Sizes: Available in six size options ranging from 36 inches to 60 inches, accommodating a wide range of body measurements.
Techniques Used: The Illi Cardigan employs fundamental cardigan construction techniques including armhole shaping, shoulder shaping, and collar integration. Pocket construction is incorporated as a separate element, with two pockets made independently and integrated into the garment body. The pattern includes detailed shaping instructions for graduated decreases and bind-offs to create proper armhole and shoulder definition.
Stitches Used: The primary stitch pattern is Garter Rib, a textured stitch worked over a multiple of four stitches. The Garter Rib pattern alternates between knit and purl stitches (K1, p2, k1 repeat) on wrong-side rows, with knit stitches worked on right-side rows. This creates a dimensional, ribbed fabric with visual interest and inherent stretch and recovery properties.
Materials: The Illi Cardigan is knitted using Valley Yarns Berkshire yarn, a premium blend of 85% wool and 15% alpaca. Each skein contains 100 grams and yields 141 yards of yardage. The pattern shown features the Tan Heather colorway. Yarn requirements range from 11 skeins for the smallest size (36 inches) to 20 skeins for the largest size (60 inches). Knitting needles required are US size 9 (5.50mm) or the size needed to achieve proper gauge. The recommended gauge is 16 stitches and 24 rows over 4 inches when worked in Garter Rib.
