Patter Description from Vogue Knitting, Fall 2007: “Coviello’s lovely Scot-spirited cardi displays massive lass appeal. An exquisite braided-cable panel is worked directly into the garment’s back, while the cabled front bands and belled border are stitched separately and attached. It’s all knit with one strand each of GGH/Muench Yarns’ ‘Soft Kid’ and “Bel Air” held together.“

“Close-fitting jacket with center back cable panel, cable and ruffled edging around outside edge and set-in three-quarter length sleeves.”
