Jalie 2919 Take 3


I just love this Jalie cardigan pattern.  I wear the first one I made quite a bit.  With our windy, rainy weather lately, I was inspired to make another.  The knit, a poly/acetate/lycra (I think), is from Gorgeous Fabrics.  It's a little hard to see, but the colors are black, shades of grey, and true purple.  My other cardigan goes great with blue jeans, but I like this one for wearing with black jeans.



  Here is a close-up of the 4 pleats along the front.
Yep, another winner!  If you haven't made this pattern yet, what are you waiting for?  It's awesome!
Hope everyone's week is off to a great start! Aloha!

I like how this fabric goes with your black outfit and dresses it up a bit!

I haven't tried this one yet but do have a similar one. That is very pretty fabric. It is always handy to have some good basics.

Oh. Thanks for the closeup of the fabric. I can see why you bought it. Your pleats are divine and you look so well put together.

That's a wonderful cardi. It very pretty on you. I have that pattern and need to make it up. Actually I have the fabric for it, too.

Good timing. I am 'reminding' myself to look for fabric for this cardigan while up at sewexpo.

Great colors on you.

Kay said...

Love it. I am getting ready to make this cardi for the March sewing challenge on Ravelry.

Lovely top and fabric! What are you wearing underneath? It's a beautiful shade of blue to match the cardi.

That is really cute and I never noticed the pleats on the pattern before, nice detail.

I love the way this cardi looks, if I could justify buying another pattern, I would buy it but having just bought 30 in the USA I can't........... Still love it though

Shannon, that is really pretty ! I love the things you make with knits, you make them look so effortless. I do wish I had more time to try out more Jalie patterns. The one for the running skirt (that you suggested to me first!) was really great and well written and went together so well, and printed on nice sturdy paper, and every size I could possibly need - that it makes me feel like they are worth the investment.

Great outfit! This is one of the few hotpatterns I own but sadly haven't gotten around to it yet.

Faye Lewis said...

Oh, that turned out pretty!

Carolyn said...

That's a lovely cardigan; cosy looking fabric and I do love the pleat details on the shoulders. Very nice! :)

Myra said...

FANTASTIC! I love your version! I made it a while back in a solid and forgot how much I missed it! Thanks for the beautiful reminder!
