Walkham

  This unostentatiously elegant, but not overloaded cardigan is worked top down seamlessly by first knitting the back panel sideways and afterwards picking up stitches along both edges to create the back and then both fronts.

Stitches for the set-in sleeves are picked around the armhole after the body has been finished. Sleeves are then shaped with short rows and end in elegant cuffs wide enough to accommodate a blouse underneath. These cuffs, which repeat the lace pattern from the back panel, are worked sideways in a special technique so they are still seamless.

Stylish button bands with paired imitation stag-horn buttons on a stockinette stitch background are bordered by narrow cables that repeat at the sides of the sweater. A rolled stockinette stitch neckline tops off this versatile garment.
