DESIGN STORY

The idea was to highlight the silhouette of the sweater using simple techniques.

This seamless one-piece sweater is reversible, allowing it to be worn both ways.

A dart has been included at the chest area to create a three-dimensional effect.

It would be perfect for wearing during the changing season.

THANKS TO TESTERS

This pattern came to fruition thanks to the invaluable contributions of dedicated and truly supportive testers. The advice and suggestions from knitters living all over the world, each offering unique perspectives during the testing phase, made for a truly meaningful journey.

If you're an experienced tester, or even if you've never tried it but are interested, please fill out the tester knitter form and apply. You'll always be among the first to be contacted when a new design is ready for testing.

PATTERN RELEASE UPDATES

The Ebony Cardigan pattern, introduced during the tester call in the previous newsletter, is now available.

https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ebony-cardigan

DESIGN STORY

I aimed to design an Ebony cardigan that felt as soft as a watercolour painting, versatile enough to complement any outfit, and effortlessly stylish even when worn casually.

I wanted it to be a straightforward yet engaging project for knitters.

The satisfaction of blending two different shades to create a final product was immense.

Similar to natural hues, Le petit Lambswool reveals slightly varying shades depending on the light.

The soft, fluffy mohair not only adds enjoyment to the knitting process but also enhances the design.

THANKS TO TESTERS

This pattern came to fruition thanks to the invaluable contributions of dedicated and truly supportive testers. The advice and suggestions from knitters living all over the world, each offering unique perspectives during the testing phase, made for a truly meaningful journey.

If you're an experienced tester, or even if you've never tried it but are interested, please fill out the tester knitter form and apply. You'll always be among the first to be contacted when a new design is ready for testing.

EXCITING NEWS

We are delighted to announce that the Ebony Cardigan has been introduced to Designer Friends of Biches & Bûches. Isn't that something special?

Biches & Bûches kindly presented the original wool bundles, offered a beautiful yarn suggestion and colour ideas.

If you're a knitter who feels overwhelmed by all the lovely yarns and struggles to choose, this will be a very helpful kind recommendation.

NEWS FOR TEST KNITTERS

A new design, Ebony Cardigan, is getting ready for testing in the late December.

It is a top-down raglan cardigan with hidden details that add fun.

The sample that Jinny is wearing knitted in dark grey fingering lambs wool and dark grey brown silk mohair from

Biches & Bûches.

If you are a knitter who likes everyday sweaters that add a little fun to a classic design, please stay tuned!

Once the testing pattern is ready, we call testers, giving priority to those who submitted as testers on website.

Once 2-3 testers are ready by size,

we send the testing pattern via email and open Instagram group chat.

We proceed with testing through the group chat by sharing questions, errors found, and photos in progress.

Various suggestions and ideas are freely discussed and, in many cases, reflected in patterns.

We look forward to the opportunity to work with you.

Thank you.

Wishing you peace,

Yunique Crafts
