Swanpool Cardigan
Swanpool is a fitted cardigan worked from the top down with mock cables which run from the neck rib. The yoke shapings are worked either side of these cables which end to give an interesting shape to the top of the garment. Worked in reverse stocking stitch, the mock cable pattern provides a false seam under the sleeves and down the sides of the body, ending with a cable detail at the bottom edge
