FROM THE DESIGNER:
Engravings is inspired by engraved patterns in wood. This design explores how cables can be used to “engrave” a pattern into a stockinette fabric.
CONSTRUCTION
The Engravings cardigan is worked top down, with the body worked flat and the sleeves worked in the round. First stitches are cast on for the back, and the pattern for the back is established with three cable panels separated by sections of stockinette. The armholes are shaped as you work the back. Stitches for the front are picked up along each shoulder in turn and the front is worked top down until armscye depth is reached. Each front piece features one cable panel with stockinette worked on either side and, as for the back, armhole shaping is worked, along with shaping for the V-neck front. Once armscye depth is reached, front and back are joined and the remainder of the body is worked flat. Stitches are picked up around the armhole to form the sleeves, which are worked in the round. A cable panel is worked down the top centre of each sleeve and tapered shaping is worked until the cuff is reached. Stitches for a neckband are picked up around the V-neck front and around the back of neck. Buttons and buttonholes can be added or omitted along the neckband as preferred.
