Ellen’s Playset

Ellen’s Playset consists of a cardigan with a simple eyelet pattern and a pair of bloomers in stockinette stitch.

The cardigan of Ellen’s Playset is worked flat on a circular needle from the top down and features a simple and neat eyelet pattern. The yoke is shaped with raglan increases and the sleeves are worked after the body, on double pointed needles. You can also work the cardigan in plain stockinette stitch for a less feminine style.

The bloomers in Ellen’s Playset are worked in the round from the top down. The waist band has a casing for fitting an elastic through.
