Citrine is here!

Hurrah, hurray! Citrine is here! I'm so happy to announce that this sewing pattern is now available in my shop in digital format today. The Citrine Sewing Pattern is available in our extended size range, with fourteen sizes designed for chest measurements 32-66" [81-168 cm].

 This instant-download PDF pattern includes layered pattern pieces in both print-at-home and A0 copyshop formats, full color instructions and a handy instruction summary sheet. I've included a section on working with knits in this pattern for those of you new to knit sewing.

Citrine is a cardigan designed for knit fabrics. The pattern features unique raglan seams and is finished with wide double-fold bindings for the neck, waist and cuffs. Choose from two sleeve styles: fitted or balloon, two waist options: straight or gathered, and optional buttons to help you customize your cardigan. Two front bodice pattern pieces - with and without a dart - are provided to provide fit flexibility for different busts.

Citrine pairs beautifully with so many other patterns, like Emerald and Rose, or Cleo and Trillium (as modeled by Amy in this post - I’ll do a follow up post on all of Amy’s Citrine outfits, soon!).

PS.
