This garment is knit flat sideways with a knitted on i-cord edge finish. The body of the garment is knitted first then the cuffs. To add interest, there are optional cable “patches” knitted into the back of the garment.
Originally written for Berrocco Blackstone Tweed, any woollen-spun, tweedy, or rustic DK yarn may be substituted. We recommend BC Garn Loch Lomond, Queensland Kathmandu DK, or Fibre Co. Lore.
