Paprika

I have fallen in love with the contiguous set in sleeve method that was developed by Susie Myers. I can envision so many designs, but can only work on a few at the time.

I have used this method to create my last design, Paprika, for my "Spice Girls" ebook.

Spice Girls ebook is a collection of cardigans designed for everyday wear, and as a part of the Spice Collection, Paprika brings a little unique spice all of its own.

Paprika features some simple cables that look intricate but are very easy to execute, a hood, and interesting closures. It is completely seamless; it is knit from top down and requires very minimal finishing. Paprika is worked flat apart from 2 rows to finish the sleeves.

Contiguous set-in sleeves technique allows shoulder shaping and creating set-in sleeves without using short rows. Sleeves are worked at the same time as the rest of the vest.

 Written instructions are very detailed (32 pages!), and are broken into a few size groups. Please read the pattern, and to save ink and paper print only what you need for your size.

Paprika is available in a wide range of sizes: 6 months - 14 year old. Here is detailed info on sizes and yardage needed.
