Siddal is a loosely fitting sweater with a gathered yoke neckline and fluted sleeves, knitted in worsted-weight yarn for a quick and gratifying knit. It is worked from the bottom up with two body lengths available. The reversed 3×1 rib pattern transitions from a lace border. The neckline is finished with a garter stitch edging in which a cord is threaded. The pattern was inspired by Lizzie Siddal (1829-1862), known as the muse and wife of Pre-Raphaelite painter Dante Gabriel Rossetti – but also a talented artist in her own right. Many paintings show Lizzie in medieval-style dresses, and Susan has referenced this style in a contemporary way.
Siddal is knitted using [productlink: Susan Crawford Bluem Worsted = bluem-worsted :productlink], a worsted or aran weight yarn, worsted spun, with a honey-like softness and a delightful, lustrous finish.
Siddal is shown here in two colour ways, useing shade [productlink: Serge de Nimes = bluem-worsted-serge-de-nimes :productlink] or [productlink: Morrel = bluem-worsted-morrel :productlink].
