Cable Knit Pattern
The cable knit pattern for these sweaters was inspired by M.C. Escher's
Infinity period. The cables build upon one another and then descend again for a beautiful textured fabric.
Waves Set - Skill Builder
This twin set with two options for the
shell uses waves of graduating cables to shape and define it's
close fit. The one-size-fits-most shrug pattern echoes the cable
stitch pattern creating a unique twin set. Both pieces are created in a light to medium weight yarn. If you are ready to learn about cable knit patterns, these are a great projects because you will get a lot of practice and the pattern included detailed instruction and full-color photos on creating cables.
