We’re so excited to share I Feel Vine by Fiona Ellis - the first pattern in our Designer in Residence series!

I Feel Vine is a long-line cardigan that’s worked in Valley Yarns Amherst. It’s perfect for all seasons - cozy for the chilly months but also great to slip on over a sleeveless top in warmer months to fend off the chill of air conditioning. Its clever use of stitch patterning utilizes the elasticity of ribbing at the waist and cuff to give gentle shaping. The rib then morphs into a unique leaf pattern and finally into eyelet lace stitch-work which adds to the overall femininity of this cardigan.
