Lewth - from the Old English, to shelter from the wind, to keep warm. Made & Worn patterns are designed to fit you, and Lewth is no different. Requiring five different body measurements, offering three different amounts of positive ease and 14 textures to choose from, you can be sure to create a cardigan that is just right for you! Lewth is constructed almost seamlessly, using a combination of knitting flat and in the round. The body is knitted flat from the bottom up, with the sleeves worked in the round using the magic loop method and then joined to the body before working the yoke flat. Lewth involves a range of exciting techniques, including short rows that raise the back of the neck for a better fit and a picked-up button band.

Great for beginners or those new to working in the round, our step-by-step instructions will guide you through each and every stitch until you can say “Oh this? I made it myself!” Please note: Instructions are in written format only.

What is Made & Worn?

Made & Worn patterns are a little unusual. They are digital-only and run from our website. Each instruction is provided line by line and step by step, meaning your progress is tracked live and you can pick up just where you left off without worry. Our platform also allows knitters to start working from their phone, and pick up again straight away on a tablet or computer.

Made & Worn allows knitters the freedom to customise their patterns so that they can create garments that truly represent them and perfectly complement their wardrobe. Each of our patterns comes with a range of customisation options, from ribs and textures in our Winter 18 collection of accessories, to pattern placement, colour blocking and positive ease in our Autumn collection.

Made & Worn patterns are generated completely by the measurements you input. For sweaters, we ask for bust, body length, arm length and bicep to name a few, and each of these is used to calculate a pattern that is tailored to the knitter. The exact rows and stitches are provided, so there is no more need for approximating.

Made & Worn asks each knitter to swatch before they start. We all dislike swatching but it makes such a difference! We ask knitters to work a set number of stitches and rows, then after the swatch is blocked, the measurements are input and used as the basis for all the pattern calculations. Therefore the pattern is adapted to fit each knitter’s personal gauge. This means that knitters have the freedom to use their favourite yarn and needles, regardless of the pattern. Our patterns come with suggested yarn weights, but these are only guidelines and in fact, you can use a really broad range of weights and needles, to create your perfect fabric. We just take the measurements from your final swatch so for Made & Worn, it is fabric first, pattern second, no adjustments necessary!
