The dog days of summer are here, but with Free Pattern Friday, we’re dreaming about autumn knitting! The Cleome Cardigan, designed by Rachel Brockman, is this week’s freebie, and we’re so excited to share the beautiful qualities of this piece with you. Plus, we get the privilege of introducing you to a new yarn from our friends at Rico Design!
Cables and lace are two of the most noticeable stitch patterns in knitting, and when you combine the two, the results are breathtaking! The sensational stitch definition of Rico Design’s Luxury Natural Silk Blend makes even more of an impact. This yarn’s blend of 50% silk, 30% wool, and 20% cotton is soft and delicate, perfect for any piece worn close to the skin.
The Cleome Cardigan is truly a versatile addition to your wardrobe. Not only is this piece excellent for three-season use, but you can also sport it for any occasion.
Do you love textured stitch patterns and a gentle feel? Well, Luxury Natural Silk Blend is right up your alley! This yarn is ideal if you’re intrigued by a classic cabled sweater or cozy pair of mitts in stockinette stitch. If you need more incentive, Rico Design Luxury Natural Silk Blend is 15% off through Sunday, July 21st, at 11:59 PM EST, so shop today!
Thanks for stopping by

Good morning! Nice pattern, but why isn’t it on Ravelry so more knitters can find it? And make it searchable when we are out shopping?
Hi there!
Our patterns do get added to Ravelry, but unfortunately they don’t have some of the pre-scheduling features of our website or blog posts, so we have to manually publish our drafts once staff is in-house and available. So sorry for that delay, but Cleome is on Ravelry and ready for your favorites folder or to cast on as a project!! We can’t wait to see how yours turns out 🙂
