U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is known for her dissenting opinions. When she reads a dissent, she often wears a particular collar, or “jabot.” It’s a striking visual adornment and as soon as I saw it, I knew I wanted to design a yoke sweater inspired by it. This sweater, Dissent, is my tribute to RBG. May we all channel her when wearing our own Dissent.
A fingering weight pullover and a hat version of this pattern are also available.
Full Spectrum is a clever reversible hat with fetching stripes on one side and pleasing geometric colourwork on the other. It’s worked from the crown of one side, through the brim, and to the crown of the other, so that the whole doubled hat is worked in one piece. It was designed in collaboration with Gauge Dye Works - their self-striping yarn makes this an addicting and enjoyable knit!
The yarn designed for this pattern is available in three colourways from Gauge Dye Works.
There’s also a cheery Twinkle colourway! You can get the colour-blocked version for the toque (it would also be great for the Botanical Sampler cowl) or the multi-striped version for the Saxe Point socks.
The Knitter’s Dude takes inspiration from the iconic Big Lebowski sweater, but it’s designed with the knitter’s enjoyment and inspiration in mind. It’s worked entirely in the round so that the stranded color work never has to be worked on the wrong side, and finishing doesn’t require any seaming.
The fit is relaxed and flattering with compound raglan yoke shaping, a generous collar, and beautiful tubular cast-on and bound-off edges.
The sample is shown on a woman, but the pattern is unisex - there are instructions for modifying the sweater to be more appropriate for men’s/tall sizes, so you can make it work for all the Dudes and Dudettes in your life.
And if you’ve got a tiny one, The Little Dude comes in sizes newborn to age 12! Get The Royal We, the ebook for both patterns.
