Stop-Traffic Circles
From the magazine:
The yoke of Kristin Nicholas’s vibrant child’s sweater is decorated with cheerful concentric circles. Simple chain-stitch embroidery around the knitted-in circle motifs gives them added dimension and a smooth outline. The body of the sweater is worked in knit-and-purl ladder-stitch patterns interspersed with simple cable panels. Bright garter-stitch stripes punctuate the design and border the hem, sleeves, and collar. After finishing the sweater, Kristin washed it gently in her machine to even out any irregularities in the embroidery and to give the sweater a soft semifelted surface.
