Intermediate
Intermediate knitting patterns are aimed at knitters who have a solid understanding of fundamental techniques and are ready for more challenging patterns. Knitters at this level are expected to be comfortable reading patterns, working with a variety of needle types, and executing more advanced techniques such as cables, lace work, detailed construction methods or intarsia. These patterns require reading complex charts or instructions, offering knitters the chance to refine their skills and explore creative, sophisticated designs.
Description
Hodgsons Joy designed by Sarah Hatton is a pretty cardigan showcasing shifting bands of texture. Knit in Lore, it is a lightweight yet warm layering piece that will take the chill off Wintery days. The cardigan is worked in one piece from the hem to the armholes, then the fronts and back are worked separately. The three-quarter-length sleeves are worked in the round from the bottom up and set into the armholes.
This kit is made using Lore by The Fibre Co., a 100% lambswool yarn that brings just the right balance of softness, warmth, and stitch definition to highlight the cardigan’s unique textures. Sourced and spun in England, Lore is a woolen-spun yarn with a lofty hand and natural resilience, making it ideal for garments that are both cozy and breathable. The slightly rustic character of the yarn beautifully complements the cardigan’s textural stitchwork, ensuring the stitches stand out with subtle depth. Whether you're knitting it or wearing it, Hodgsons Joy in Lore is a joy indeed.
