Pattern Information

The Cricket Trunk Show features six garment designs with both colorwork and textured stitches. We've shared more about these projects below, but you can also view the collection in its entirety on Kelbourne Woolen's website.

Durrow Sweater

The Durrow Sweater is an oversized dolman pullover that is worked in pieces and finished with a 3 needle bind off at the shoulders and seamed along the sides. We love the textured striping fabric!

Enniskillen Vest

The Enniskillen Vest is a classy colorwork vest that is worked from the bottom up with steeks to create openings for the armholes and V-neck.

Eyre Sweater

Don't let this image fool you. That is a gorgeous lace yoke you're seeing! The lace patterns are repetitive and should not deter you from this piece. The tweed and modern feel of the lace are a lovely, complementary match!

Gleninagh Pullover

Everyone needs a colorwork yoke sweater in their closet and this is a stunning choice. Gleninagh is worked in the round from the bottom up so you'll be extra motivated to get to the yoke! The colorwork is charted, and Kelbourne Woolens has a tutorial on working from charts if you're new to that pattern format!

Ross Vest

A traditional waistcoat, the Ross Vest uses a gorgeous seed stitch pattern at the arms and neckline for a more tailored approach to standard ribbing. Add some leather buttons and a jacket for a statement ensemble!

Tyrconnell Sweater

A classic turtle neck shape with deep ribbing at the cuffs and hem. The sweater is worked in pieces from the bottom up, seamed, and then the neck is worked.
