Ribbed Collar Cardi

I realize this looks like a lot of the designs out there, but I just had to do this one. It was on my mind and in my sketch book for over a year, was re-designed and then brought back to it's original form last month. I posted earlier a "sleeve sneak peak" and my comment was not to mess with the original idea. The only difference was I sketched it in black.

This yarn color is periwinkle and I love it because I have nothing like it! I paired this with white, black and navy and it looks great with all colors (underneath) and it goes great with jeans.

  8. Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I really love this one.

    I'm making some minor structural changes to the pattern, I added a row of sc before v-stitching so the foundation chain of the v-st doesn't sag, and the set-in sleeves need a 2 st revamp to fit better. Then it's off for testing.

    Thanks again everyone!

  9. I am looking forward to this new
    pattern because, while it is a
    feminine design, it isn't covered
    with a frou-frou lace collar. That's why I have not made any of
    those other jackets in this style.
    I'm not a lacy-crochet lover. Besides, I think those big lace
    wrap collars look ridiculous on
    large-size women. I much prefer a
    more tailored, classic design.
    Thank you so much for understanding
    this. I really appreciate your
    design sensibility. s.schiffman,
