Rhodes
A lovely cable and lace pattern graces the front of a slightly fitted, wide-necked raglan pullover, worked top-down in the round for a seamless project. Offset cables offer detailing on the back of the ¾-length sleeves, and crossed ribbing adds elegance to the hems. For a fun accent, work the hem edges in a contrast color.
This pattern is for intermediate to advanced knitters; charted instructions are used.
Special design features: boat-neck, twisted ribbing, cable accents on back of sleeves, eyelet increases, 3/4-length sleeves.
Grey sample knit in Plucky Scholar (Narragansett Gray and Vintage Icebox), 40” modeled with 2” of positive ease.
Purple sample knit in Plucky Trusty (Baroque), 34” modeled with 2” of positive ease.
