Recently I had the pleasure to test knit a new design by talented Nadia Crétin-Léchenne. I love her designs; I knit this one and this one and loved working on both of them, so when Nadia asked me to test knit Love Potion for her I immediately said yes.
Love Potion is a basic cardigan for everyday wear. The I-cord edging gives it an interesting look. I spent few days choosing yarn and colours and finally settled on light brown and blue. I think it's a good match.
The cardigan is worked seamlessly from top to bottom, one of my favourite constructions. I made the sleeves a bit longer to make my Love Potion even more warm and cosy. I absolutely love the result.
The pattern is well written and instructions are clear and easy to follow. You can buy your copy here.
Pattern: Love Potion by Nadia Crétin-Léchenne

Thank you Nadia!
It's indeed a beautiful casual cardigan! I like the colors and buttons are perfect.
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeletelight brown and blue go very well together! I'm new to raglan sweaters, and I had a very hard time finding circular needles around here - but I'm now "hooked"!
