The popcorn tuck stitch I developed for this design waffles back and forth to create a subtle herringbone effect.

Wear with some ease and a little cropped as shown, or make it longer, snugger, whatever style you like.

Construction: Popcorn Waffles Cardigan is worked seamlessly from the top down.
The yoke and body are worked flat and the sleeves are worked in the round.
The raglan shaping is perfectly integrated with the stitch pattern, which combines a type of tuck stitch with small cables.
All in all, a very pleasant and engaging project, with timeless results.
