Susan Duckworth Pansies Cardigan Kit - An Original Ehrman Yarn Pack - Vintage Rowan Sea Breeze and Cabled Mercerized Cotton

From Susan Duckworth's Knitting published in 1988, we offer a complete original knitting kit to do the Cotton Pansies design.    The design features a repeating series of pansies on a raincloud blue background  with cable ribbed borders at the cuffs and collar.  Knit using the motif intarsia technique where the background yarn is carried across the entire row.  Suitable for experienced knitters comfortable with intarsia color changes. The pattern comes in one size to fit up to a 40 inch bust.  Finished size is 43.75 inches at the bust and 27.5 inches from the bottom rib to the shoulder.  Sleeves are 21 inches.   The pattern calls for a tension of 30 stitches and 35 rows to 4 inches (10 cm) on US 3 (3.25 mm) needles.  Given the geometric nature of the pattern it would be easy to size up to create an even larger size.   

Technique:  Motif Intarsia

Difficulty: Rated for Experienced knitters.

Rarity: All these yarns have been discontinued for decades.

The kit contains a copy of the pattern, original buttons, and the following original Rowan yarns: Sea Breeze Cotton in Rain Cloud (528), Antique Pink (533), Sugar Pink (545), Baize (540), Purple (543), Sienna (535), Strawberry Ice (545), Frolic (534), Apple (537), Wheat (523), Bluebell (542), Black (526), Spring Yellow (536), and Lilac (544); Cables Mercerized Cotton in Jettison (310), Cadmium (304), Lavender (311), Terracotta (314), and Puce (315).  As this was an original Ehrman kit all the background yarn is the same dye lot.
