Product Details
I always seem to come back to the basic idea of the Grandpa Cardigan – each time working it from a somewhat different perspective.
This time, it’s all about texture and cozy, satisfying depth. Bold cables are paired with ribbed and slipped stitches, and adding saddle shoulder construction creates distinct seam lines in the texture. A garter stitch shawl collar adds one more element to the mix, cementing the deep cushy feeling of the sweater.
And yes, some cables. Because I love these big, bold, undulating cables.
Easy to modify, comments are included in the pattern. The collar is narrow but can be knit deeper, and sleeve length is given for folded back cuffs & straight arms.
Gauge is important on this sweater. Some yarns will block differently (grow) in ribbing so be SURE to swatch and block a sample. Detailed notes on yarn and size choice, and modifying the yoke for an alternate row gauge will be in my Milk Stout Ravelry thread.
