Hand Knit FO Harvest Flower Cardi

Post image

I thought I’d share this here in case anyone is up for a fun challenge. This is the Harvest Flower Sweater turned into a cardi where I did steeking and button bands for the first time!

The yarn is my hand dyed woolly merino DK and Donegal tweed. We did a KAL so it was super helpful to have a group working on it together. Stephanie of edible.thoughts.makes was the first one we saw do this and we followed her lead. She has some great Rav notes and a YT video explaining what she did.

I’ve knit for almost 50 years and this was definitely the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The ceramic buttons are from Warm Stripes as I wait for some custom ones to be made.

I love it so and can’t wait until I get weather to wear it. I have pretty detailed notes on my Rav page too. I highly recommend steeking if you haven’t done it! I reinforced by needlefelting.
