Plush Blush Sweater in Knit Today Magazine

With a chunky herringbone cable and pretty lines of eyelets, my "Plush Blush" sweater in Knit Today Magazine is a great knit for cooler spring days. The eyelet cable folds pattern has mirror image cables on the upper part of the front of the sweater. An eyelet pattern is worked on the front, the back and the sleeves. The borders and neckband are knitted in reverse stocking stitch.

Plush Blush is knitted in Stylecraft Alpaca Chunky yarn. This soft, chunky yarn uses 5.5mm and 6mm needles, making this a quick-to-knit project. The lovely pale blush purple shade shown is 6012, Orchid.

This sweater makes me feel very spring-like, as at the moment my tiny orchid is in full flower on my window sill. The delicate Orchid flower heads are made up of many beautiful colours, but the palest shade of purple is an almost perfect match for Plush Blush and the Pantone colour of the Year from 2014, Radiant Orchid!
