Garnett

• Description
• Pattern Information
• Techniques

• Garnett is a floaty, diaphanous top with a softly curving neckline and deep dropped shoulders. It is worked with large needles and two fine yarns held together, creating a delightful open texture. A lace panel is worked up the front and on both sleeves. The top is knit from the bottom up, first in the round and then the front and back separately. The top was inspired by the artisan and businesswoman Annie Garnett, whose experimental fabrics were some of the first to have metals woven through them. Garnett is knitted with two strands of different fibres to mimic, in a simple way, these innovative techniques.

  Garnett is knitted using Susan Crawford Fenella and Susan Crawford Mist

  Garnett is shown here in two colour ways.
  Colourway One uses shades:
