Shirley Temple

Shirley Temple is Zoe’s sweater. It’s fun, bright and just a little bit different, as requested.

It’s a classic cabled pullover with a little surprise in back, knit in an amazing orangey-red shade of superwash merino. Bold textured cables are featured on front and back, and stockinette sleeves contrast with the purl background that surrounds these motifs. Faux seams run down each side and are echoed at center back – adding distinct lines to accent the V detail. Besides the cables and the V, this sweater is a simple knit, featuring basic raglan construction. Modifications for length or width are simple and moving the V around to flatter your body is also easy and addressed in the pattern.

The sample was knit in Duck Duck Wool Superwash Merino. A substitute yarn is shown below.
