#191 Tabitha Cocoon Cardigan
JOIN this KAL, in progress now!
Here’s a true study in mixed textures.
This cocoon-style cardigan prominently features a gorgeous open lace panel in the back.
Then, ribbed dolman sleeves are knit out from the sides of the back panel to provide a tailored contrast and create the cocoon shape.
A striking, yet delicate, banana leaf panel embellishes both the shaped shawl collar and the optional sleeve cuffs.
This is a conversation-starting piece that will give you a variety of stitches and techniques to work on and combine for a gratifying result.
Sample is knit up in Berroco Ultra Alpaca – a yarn that gives spectacular stitch definition with enough softness and color sophistication to carry off this design.
