This Cardigan is worked in simple shapes. The back is a square, the fronts are two
rectangles. The sleeve is the usual truncated "V" shape but with a twist: at the top
edge, the center 10 stitches are continued on to create a saddle shoulder. This piece
continues to the neck opening on either side.
Just above the bustline, the 9-stitch cable breaks into two 4-stitch Double Gullwing
Cables with the center stitch continuing on as a slipped stitch for nice definition.
I don't like to use the word "easy" because that varies based on each knitter's
expertise [some are natural cablers, some are natural lace knitters, etc.], but I do
consider these reasonably simple cables. The effect of this sweater is stunning and
gives a lot of bang for your cabled buck [no aran cable calisthenics here!]
The final touch are crocheted buttons. Little wooly donuts!
model: A nice tree
