Placket
Jump to Comments

I’ve always liked the word “placket“.  I can’t say why – it just feels good in the mouth, so I was probably always likely to be well-disposed towards the Child’s Placket-Neck Pullover from Last Minute Knitted Gifts.  I was so pleased when the reality of knitting the garment was as lovely.

Seamless sweaters are great.  I’ve just had the experience of knitting all the parts of a Debbie Bliss non-seamless sweater and I just know I’m never going to sew it together.  Even if I did, I’d make a hash of it.  I think it’s got to be seamless all the way now.

I have my eye on Zimmerman’s Baby Surprise Jacket next which has some micro-seams, but I don’t think they’ll challenge me.

[Edited to add:

I used Debbie Bliss Cashmerino DK.  I'll look up the colour for you all as I can't remember off hand.]
