{"product_id":"aparima-cardigan","title":"Aparima Cardigan","description":"\u003cp\u003eAnother beautiful design from Kiniki Knits — the Queenstown-based designer whose patterns we're proud to stock at The Wool Shop. The Aparima is a bold, comfortable cardi-jacket featuring textured panels of slip stitches and charted mosaic patterns that make it a genuine showcase piece. It will appeal to knitters who love working with beautiful, coloured yarns and want a garment that lets them combine shades according to their own inspiration — one main colour and three accent colours, each combination producing a result that's entirely your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe design carries a subtle retro character — a nod to the bold, patterned knits that were popular from the mid-20th century — without feeling dated. It's named for a seaside town at the bottom of the world (almost), where the design began taking shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMosaic knitting is a slip-stitch method of creating multi-coloured designs using only one yarn per row, making it considerably more approachable than stranded colourwork. It suits flat-knitted garments particularly well, and the Aparima takes full advantage of this: the body is worked flat from the bottom up, divided at the armholes into fronts and back, seamed at the shoulders, with sleeves picked up around the armholes and worked in the round. The front and neck band is finished with a ribbed border. The cardigan is designed to hang open rather than fasten — a relaxed, wearable silhouette that works across a wide range of sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003ePattern Details\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kiniki Knits (Queenstown, NZ)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGarment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Women's Cardi-Jacket (open front)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mosaic knitting (slip stitch colourwork, one yarn per row)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Worked flat, bottom up;
