Gwendolyn
Discover the enchanting Gwendolyn knitting pattern, the delightful sister design to the beloved Griffin pattern. Created specifically with the vibrant Noro yarn in mind, Gwendolyn also works beautifully with solid, semi-solid, and variegated yarns, making it a versatile addition to your knitting repertoire.
This stylish Gwendolyn pattern features a top-down seamless construction, allowing for a smooth, enjoyable knitting experience. With design elements inspired by the whimsical style of the 1970s, Gwendolyn is the perfect choice for knitters seeking a blend of nostalgia and contemporary flair.
What sets Gwendolyn apart is its unique and fun construction twist on the traditional saddle shoulder. This innovative approach minimizes finishing work and eliminates the stop-and-start knitting associated with classic saddle shoulder designs, resulting in a more streamlined crafting process.
The versatility of Gwendolyn is highlighted by the option to knit it with or without a cozy hood, catering to your personal style preferences. A standout feature is the delightfully easy-to-knit kangaroo pocket, which can be incorporated seamlessly as you progress. The finishing touch? A gorgeous mitred neckline that adds an elegant detail to this charming dress.
Compared to Griffin, Gwendolyn presents a slimmer silhouette with a more feminine profile. This pattern is designed with less ease, offering a closer fit that doesn't sit as wide across the shoulders, while the armholes and neckline are shallower. The subtly A-line shape enhances the graceful look, making it an ideal choice for various body types.
The samples showcased in our description were beautifully knitted using Noro Kureyon, shade 308A, as well as Kaalund Yarns 8-ply in shades Lobster and Surf. Whether you choose to use vibrant Noro yarns or prefer solid shades, Gwendolyn is guaranteed to bring your knitting vision to life.
