RIB AND CABLE CARDIGAN

Vogue Knitting Fall 2009 #4
design by Irina Poludnenko

This cardigan begins with the triple cable at the hip; from there, the main rib and staggered cable pattern is picked up and worked upward (the sleeves are similarly formed, starting with a double-cable band). The neckband consists of cabled fabric that is folded in half and sewn to create a double thickness.
