Adorable Audrey in Knitting for Olive

The Audrey Cardigan is a soft and sweet cardigan with a cropped, boxy fit perfect for layering over dresses. We fell so hard for it when Vicki worked up this shop model of Knitting for Olive's Audrey Cardigan that we ran out and immediately bought a special dress for the mannequin!

Knit holding two strands (one each of Knitting For Olive Merino and Knitting For Olive Soft Silk Mohair), Audrey features top-down raglan construction - beginning with the I-cord ties and neckband - and requires no seaming!

It's also a bit of a bargain considering the end result; you'll only need two each of KFO's Soft Silk Mohair and KFO's Merino (four skeins total) for the size 2! Vicki worked it up in Dusty Rose, but Knitting for Olive features a deep palette of shades to match the personality of your own special little one.

Rooty Tooty Fresh and Tutti Frutti!

Brightening up the shop right here at the greyest part of winter is a fresh restock of Regia Cotton Color sock yarn!

Whether it makes you think of fresh fruit or a delicious tropical cocktail, one thing is for sure: this yarn is cool and clever! Made up of 459 yards of 72% Cotton/18% Polyamide/10% Polyester, this fingering weight strand self-stripes with simple fruit motifs sprinkled along the way. In other words...this yarn does all the oo-la-la work for you!

Shop Regia Cotton Color HERE! One skein will take care of a regular pair of adult socks using your favorite "vanilla" sock pattern...though the challenge will be deciding which skein. They're all just delicious!
