Fair Flowers Jumper & Mosaic Crochet Cardigan

Négy évvel ezelőtt horgoltam meg a nagy részét (alulról, a hónaljig), még a pandémia alatt. Azután félretettem, mert nem igazán volt ötletem, hogy a mozaik horgolásos mintákat hogyan is kellene összehozni, a karöltő kivágással. Most előkerült és a már két kötött pulcsinál jól bevált egyenletesen elosztott vállrész fogyasztást alkalmaztam itt is. Szerintem megérte várni a tökéletes megoldásra.

I started it four years ago during the Pandemic. Crocheted from bottom up it was made up to the yoke. Then it was laid aside 'cause I didn't know, how to join the arms and the body part without disturbing the mosaic crochet patterns. Now I found it and the technique used at my two latest knitted sweaters seemed to be a good solution for this cardi too. So the yoke was made with evenly distributed decreased number of stitches in the round. I'm quite satisfied with the result.

Ezt a pulcsit a cifra minta miatt eltartott egy ideig mire megkötöttem, de minden percet megért. A fonal pamut-akril keverék és puha kellemes viselet. 4,5-es kötötűvel alulról felfelé körben kötöttem, csak az ujja van oda-vissza kötve hónaljig. Saját tervezés.

This jumper took me awhile to knit due to the intricate pattern, but it was worth every minute of it. The yarn is a mixture of cotton and acrilic and it is a soft and pleasant garment. I knitted it in the round bottom up with 4.5mm needles, only the arms are knitted back and forth up to the yoke. My own design.

 

Nyári horgolt kardigán / Summer Crochet Cardigan

 Valamikor tavaly októberben kezdtem el horgolni ezt a kardigánt, de ahogy hűvösebbre fordult az idő, félbehagytam. A tavasz közeledtével újra nekiláttam és a múlt hétvégén végre kész lett. A lányom, aki egyébként a modell is, imádja.

I started to crochet this cardigan maybe last October, but then the weather got cold and I abandoned it. As spring aproached I resumed crocheting it and finally last weekend it got ready. My dauther loves it, she is the owner and the model as well.

Csipke kardigán / Lace Cardigan

Új kísérlet. Kétféle vastagságú kötőtűvel, sok-sok ráhajtásal különleges kardigán készült. Ez a Zara kardigán volt az, amibe a lányom beleszeretett, csak azt kérte, hogy ne legyen fehér. (Valószínűleg gépi kötés.) Én meg azt mondtam, hogy ilyet én is tudok. Jó buli volt kikísérletezni, 6-os és 12-es tűvel kötöttem.

New experiment. With two different sizes of needles and a lot of yarn-overs a quite out of the ordinary cardigan was made. It was this zara cardigan that my daughter fell in love with, and she only asked for any other colour but white. (Probaly machine knitted.) I said that I can definetily do it. It was fun to figure out the knowhow, used 6 and 12mm needles.

 

Mohair kardigán 2 / Mohair Cardigan 2

 A lányomnak nagyon tetszett a kicsit több mint egy hónapja befejezett alvó projektem (ez). Mivel volt egy kevés maradék fonal és még két rőzsaszín árnyalatú maradék mohair, úgy döntöttem, hogy neki is készítek egy kardit. Persze a minta más, a virágok kisebbek, stb. Az eredmény fent látható.

My dauther liked my UFO cardi that was finished a bit more than a month ago (this) a lot. As there was some yarn left and some more earlier leftover mohair yarns in two shades of pink I decided to make a cardigan for her too, of course the pattern is different, the flowers are smaller, etc. You can see the result above.

 Kardigánból sose elég. Az új "Szivárvány" kardigánom rekord idő, 2 nap altt készült el. Ha akarom nyári, ha akarom, akár téli viselet is lehet. Szeretem, mert olyan bohém.

You can't have too many cardigans. My new "Rainbow" cardi has been made in 2 days, that' s a new record. It can be worn either in summer or in winter, as you like it. I love it because it's such a bohemian piece.

Puha virágos kardigán / Cardigan from Soft Flowers

Elkészült egy kb. 6 éve elkezdett UFO. Már nem emlékszem miért lett félretéve, de most nagyon örülök, hogy előkerült és befejeztem. Alize Angora Gold Batik fonalból készült, könnyű és mégis finoman meleg. Szeretem. Saját elképzelés alapján.

I finished an UFO that aws started about 6 years ago. I don't remember why it was laid aside, but I'm very happy that it came into my view and is finished. Crocheted from Alize Angora Gold Batik yarn, it is lightweight but wonderfully warm. I love it. Made after my own imagination.

 

Colorblock Cardigan

 Tavaszi kardigán színes blokkokból, Borgo di Pazzi Bibi fonalból. A csatok, ha lehet, még egy kicsit feldobják. Intarzia kötéssel készült.

Colorblock cardigan for spring from Borgo di Pazzi Bibi yarn. The clasps jazz it up even a bit more. First time I used intarzia knitting.

Norvég mintás hardigán / Fair Isle Cardigan

I've started this cardigan at the beginning of November, and laid it aside for some reason I do not even remeber. Maybe I've just started something new from a new purshase of yarns, I usually do that. IT's not a New Year's resolutions, I never promise things that I can't keep, but decided to have a look at some of the "resting" projects. I can tick this one, and still have a week holiday to go. Yarn: Scheepjes Our Tribe: The Curio Crafts Room and Happy in Red, 350g. My daughter is modelling it, a bit loose on her, but it will be a present to a friend. When she gets it I'll make some pics her wearing it too. No pattern, the graphs were free on the Net, otherwise I followed my own imagination.

Patchwork kardigán / Patchwork cardigan

Experiment to use up leftover yarn. I actually fell in love with this and so did my whole family, so probably some other will follow.

I knitted the parts separately then sawed them together and finally added the I-cord around the edges. Pattern my own.

 

Szövetmintás kardigán / Linen Stitch Cardigan

Just finished this linen stitch cardigan for my daughter. No pattern, just followed my instict. The yarn is mostly Our Tribe, at least 10 colours and some from my old stash. I love how the stitch itself mixes the colours in the neighbouring rows. The edges are made with I-cord, this was the first time I used it also to form trhe buttonholes.

 

Nagyi virágos kardigán / Granny Square Cardigan

Több mint 50 színből készült a legújabb alkotásom. Már régóta vágytam egy ilyenre. Minta: Beaddict

My newest creation was made from more than 50 colours. I have wanted one like this for a long time. Pattern by Beaddict.

 

Oversize

 I was planning it for quite a while, bought the yarn last september and started this sweater right away. But as with many things when the design posed some difficulties I abandoned it and  quickly began a new project. Some rather nice pieces of clothing were knitted or crocheted but this yellow-grey sweater had to wait half a year for its turn. Last weekend I decided that one of the UFOs has to be finished and have chosen this for its spring yarn (Rosarios4 Jardim, 45% cotton-55% superwash merino). Mostly my color choices cover the earth colors but I fell in love with this yellow shade and was inspired by this sweater and this cardigan. It was knitted in one piece, first the yellow part, bottom up in circles, then the grey parts added top down. All the edges are finished with attatched I-cords. I had to learn Provisional Cast On to be able to continue the grey at the bottom after the yellow part was done. And also had to figure out how to decrease 8 stitches in a row with Stacked Decrease, to form the sleeves. This sweater looks very simple, but it was knit in a really complicated way and I had to frog it at several places but it was worth it. 

"Granny Hexagon" Cardigan

Yarn used: Alize Bella Batik 4150

Inspired by this pattern I created my own version of the Granny Hexagon cadigan,.

 

Kagylók és ír csipke /Shells and Irish lace

"Kagylók" pulcsi újra. Most tiri-tarka Scheepjes Stone Washed fonalból az ifjúsának készül. Közben írom a mintát közkívánatra. Kicsit úgy halad mint a Luca széke, mert közben belefogtam egy ír csipke pulcsiba Sky fonalakból, megspékelve egy kis sárga, piros, törtfehér színfolttal, hogy nem legyen uncsi. Hát nem az, minden láncszem egy kihívás, de már látom, hogy megéri. A szegélye román horgolt zsinór. 

"Shells" jumper again. This time from colorful Scheepjes Stone Washed yarn for the youth. While knitting I'm jotting down the pattern as you wished. The process is as slow as molasses, because I also started and Irish lace jumper from Sky yarn, jazzed up a bit with yellow, red and off-white splashes. Every chain stich is a challenge, but it'll worth it. The edge is Rumanian lace cord.

 

"Rag Rug" Swing Cardigan

I made this cardigan from scrap yarn with short row technique. I tried this technique in this scarf before but I wanted a more formidable project. The cut of the cardigan is rather simple because I was experimenting with swing knitting and it needs a bit of counting the stitches and is rather new for me. Otherwise it is just garter stitch. I like the outcome. Next project is already taking shape in my mind.
