Curious Path Cardigan

a cable adventure


$6.00

 

Knit seamlessly from the top down, the yoke is accentuated with four cables that run along the raglan increase points from the neck to the armpits, and next to the button edge. Just above the armpits, the raglan cables divide and branch out across the sweater. In the front, these branches meet to form a braid midway down the cardigan along the button edge. In the back, the branches meet to create a central motif that marries the cables and braids into one harmonious, albeit curious cabled path.
