Hello, friends!
 
I've been working on a new sewing pattern for knits, and though it's not ready yet to launch (or even really say “coming soon”), I wanted to give you a sneak peek at the new design.
 
I've been working on prototypes and wearing samples of this pattern for the past couple of years, so I'm really excited to finally give you a little preview. I can't wait to have it ready for you!!
 
Introducing…Citrine!
 
Citrine is a cropped cardigan pattern designed for knit fabrics, featuring unique raglan seams and finished with double-fold bindings for the neck, waist and cuffs. 
 
The pattern has two views:

View a features fitted sleeves and a straight hem (above). 
 
View b features balloon sleeves and a gathered hem, and optional buttons (below). 
 
And of course, you can mix and match the options, so it's easy to customize!

Citrine will be offered in our newly-expanded size range with fourteen sizes A-N designed to fit chest measurements up to 66" [168 cm].
 
I can't wait to show you more of the versions of Citrine I've made, my favorite fabrics for this pattern, and yardage requirements so you can get ready for this pattern!

It's been a long time since I launched a new pattern. Over the past few years (hello, pandemic!), I prioritized updating older patterns, so I'm really excited about this upcoming release. I hope you're excited too!
 
 It's really too early to say when it will be ready, but I'm about to send pattern pieces to testers, so if everything goes well, it will ready by the end of the year (which, is soon…ack!!). And don't worry, I'll be sure to send an update out to this list so you'll know when it lands. 
 
In the meantime, I'm a little short-staffed this fall without Jess, so I hope you'll understand that I'm not going to be able to hold a site-wide sale next week. Instead, I'm going to offer a few special discounts on some of my favorite patterns, starting next week, so stay tuned for those details.
 
Have a wonderful weekend!
Happy sewing,
- Rae
