This cropped cardigan, designed in the 1950s and recently recovered, sports a dropped armhole, semi-dolman sleeves and a squared-off neckline. At a gauge of 5 stitches per inch, this can be knit with Jamieson Spindrift.

Elizabeth Zimmermann’s inventive Baby Surprise Jacket pattern in now over 40 years old! The original was knit in Shetland jumperweight wool—400-500 yards of Jamieson’s Spindrift will do the trick. This 10-page pattern includes EZ’s original version as well as a line-by-line version, plus collar and hood variations. Alter gauge and numbers and you get the Adult and Child versions.

Designer: Churchmouse Classics

This stylish beret is knit using 2 balls of Spindrift on large needles and then felted by hand to create a soft, structured unisex beret.

I’ve knit one of these berets in two colors with a subtle pattern separating them—if you order the felted beret pattern and two balls of yarn, I will include the instructions for this variation (the picture shows beret in 122 Granite and 125 Slate).
