Christmas Collection


The Christmas Collection was born out of the desire to fashion holiday ensembles for a craft show I will be attending near the holidays. Inspired by the classic holiday movie, ‘White Christmas’ starring Bing Crosby, I created this festive set all featuring the use of faux fur trim, and all designed to coordinate with each other for complete ensembles.         Debonair Designs



The Christmas Collection Patterns:

Noel ~ a fur trimmed hooded coat with collar option

Juliette ~ a fur trimmed cloak with capelet option

Cabana III ~ a chevron stitched two-piece skirt and matching top 







 Noel                                                                              Juliette


 Cabana III
















Pattern Note: Worked flat, back and forth in rows

Construction: Written out with line-by-line instructions given, including faux fur placement, Coat worked bottom up in one piece then each section is worked individually, hood created from picked up stitches along with a collar option worked in the same manner, Cloak/Capelet worked top down with gradual shaping. Both the skirt and matching top worked from the bottom up.

Materials: Medium worsted/10ply yarn with bulky textured yarn used for the faux fur. Yarn Equivalent: 8ply/Double Knit (UK/Australia) and 12ply/Chunky

Winter Holiday Collection


The upcoming holiday season is in full swing all around . . . .  I love this time of the year; the festive lights and awe-inspiring window displays.
So it is befitting to present the latest off my knitting needles, three capelet outfits from my 2011 Winter Holiday Collection. These finished ensembles are currently available for sale in auctions listed on eBay, via a store my husband and I have, find them here under my label Debonair Designs at Tekay-intl
 
One of these three capelet ensembles, 'Hogmanay', that my Gotz model Katie will show, made use of a new-to-me stitch pattern, yet followed the basic stitches of my newly released capelet pattern, Tundra.


The other two capelet ensembles, 'Candy Cane' and 'Starlight', also made use of this versatile pattern, with a couple of exceptions: I made use of an accent faux fur for the edging, working these rows in garter stitch and added the same to the button-bands, then made use of a two color combination throughout.

Here are my Gotz girls, from the Little Sisters Collection, to show and tell. Hope you enjoy these as much as I did creating them. Thanks for looking, and happy holidays. Stay safe and warm, Deb
