Join us over on the Canary Knits group in the Ghosts KAL to win prizes (including the entire Ghosts ebook), find company, and have fun!

Utukku is part of the ebook Ghosts: historiographies, cultural manifestations, and the knits they’ve inspired.

Ribbons dance around the yoke of this whimsical lace and stockinette hooded cardigan.
The numerous ribbon rows allow you to wear this cardigan in many ways: open, with ribbons streaming. Closed at the neck, with one lovely bow tied. Choose a wider ribbon in a contrasting colour for a more dramatic effect.
Or, use no ribbon at all and wear it open, perhaps with a pin.

Utukku is an almost entirely seamless knit, worked from the top of the hood down. It is knit flat, save for the sleeves which are in the round.

Find essays into the topic of ghosts in the ebook - the single pattern does not feature this information!
