There has been a lot of change in the knitting community in the past year or so. We’ve been made more aware of the racism, lack of size inclusion, and other ways that the community as a whole has not been as welcoming as it could be.
Changes have been happening in little corners and more broadly, and that is worth celebrating.
Denise Bayron turned that spirit of inclusion and a desire for even more change into a jacket that embodies those ideals, called Wave of Change.
It’s a top-down raglan cardigan with purl ridge “waves,” designed in bulky weight yarn. There are seven sizes, ranging in bust measurement from 36 to 63 inches, and its a gender-neutral design as well.
It looks like the kind of thing I would wear every day and want in several different colors.
The pattern is available on Ravelry for $9.

What I don’t understand is how racism got in there. Unless you post a pic of yourself no one knows what race or sometimes gender or which way they swing. Frankly, it’s no ones business.
