Bridie
07/28/2008
Bridie by Anna Bell for KnitKnit by Sabrina Gschwandtner
small/medium size
8 balls of Karabella Margrite (80% extra-fine merino, 20% cashmere)
3.75 mm and 4 mm needles
I love so many things about this cardigan: the asymmetrical opening, the subtle texture of the lattice pattern, the delicate pearl shank buttons, the deliciously soft yarn. This was a smooth knitting experience (thanks to the perfectly written pattern) and it met all my expectations when I slipped on the finished cardigan this weekend. It’s a wonderful feeling when the sweater on the glossy page becomes a wearable garment in one’s closet.

Oh! It’s so pretty! I’ve been wanting to make one of these. If my Bridie turns out half as pretty as yours, I’ll be satisfied.

I’ve always loved this pattern, and yours turned out perfectly! Isn’t it great when that happens?
Enjoy!

A perfectly lovely cardigan. I have thought about this pattern many times, but wasn’t sure how it would hang when unbuttoned. How does it fit if the asymmetrical side is not buttoned? just curious…
Yours is great, B~

It must be a great feeling indeed, when a final garment meets all your expectations.
Your Bridie is gorgeous!

Beautiful! I love the way the button band is shaped. And the lattice pattern is subtle yet provides really nice texture.

I’ve been planing to knit this cardigan too. It’s really a wonderful cardigan. Love the colour and yarn.

I’ve always wanted to knit that, and of course that was just the colour I had dreamt of. Yours is even more beautiful than I had imagined. I wish you so well to wear it!
