Botwood

CA$12.00

The Botwood cardigan is an ode to Stepaside. I’ve had many requests over the years for insights on how to cardigan-ize Stepaside, and instead of putting out basically the same cardigan-ized pattern, I just had to do one inspired by Botwood and give it its own voice and its own flair using the Stepaside construction.

Botwood is a top‐down, open‐front dolman cardigan using the Stepaside construction. The upper back is worked first with short rows to shape the shoulders. The shoulder colourwork bands are worked in the round with a steek, then stockinette is continued down with short rows to shape the shoulders at the front. The large miter colourwork bands are worked on each half with a steek at the cuff and a steek at the hem. The underarm of each sleeve is worked, then the lower body is worked down to start of hem. In the end, the hem is worked, then the neckband, then the cuffs -- then the hidden set-in pockets ♡

Gauges

To find your needle sizes you need to swatch.
Stockinette: 19 sts / 27 rows to 10cm / 4” using size A needles.
Stranded Colourwork: 19 sts / 23 rnds to 10cm / 4” using size B needles.
Woven Stitch (hem): 21 sts / 34 rows to 10cm / 4” using size A needles.

Needles and Notions

The gauges were achieved with the following needles. To work the pattern as written, you must swatch and use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking. If you do not know whether your stockinette gauge tends to be different than your colourwork gauge, I suggest making a single colour swatch in addition to your colourwork swatch to compare gauges. If it is different, then you need to go down one to two needle sizes for the single colour rounds and the pattern is written as such.

Size A: 4.5mm (US 7) needles of varying lengths
Size B: 5mm (US 8) needles of varying lengths

You will also need: spare needles or interchangeable cables for holding sts; stitch markers; removable markers or scrap yarn; 3.5mm to 4mm (US E4 to US G6) crochet hook for surface crochet; crochet hook, tapestry/darning needle with sturdy sock yarn, sewing machine, or felting tools for reinforcing steeks.

A throwback to Terra Nova 🥰 Terra Nova has specific horizontal bands of Fair Isle in the arms, gussets, and little wiggle room to add extra underarm fabric (all the arm shaping is in the lace sleeve panels). Tomorrow I'm publishing Chandler Reach (p
