Introducing the newest addition to the Ginger family: Gingerbliss! She may be the littlest sister, but she’s bursting with personality all her own. With charming zigzag cuffs and hem that run
in the family, she’s unmistakably Ginger, yet she’s ready to carve out her own place in your wardrobe.

Using sport-/fingering-weight yarn, Gingerbliss boasts delightful lightness. Knitted from the top down, her shoulders are comfy, her sleeves tailored, and her gentle shaping delicious. Add a cascade of beautiful buttons and familiar Ginger cuffs and hem, and she’s irresistible!

Gingerbliss will charm her way into your heart and wardrobe. She’s always the perfect choice, whether for a casual day out or a special occasion, and she’s ideal for knitters who revel in both the making and wearing of their creations.

Instructions for the zigzag cuffs and hem are charted.
