Very happy with the results! Easy too follow the pattern
I really enjoyed this pattern and it was so fulfilling seeing the cables form the more I worked the pattern. Didn’t do the decreases on the sleeves because I couldn’t figure out how to keep the cable pattern while decreasing my stitches but it still turned out amazing ! Has a bit of a bell sleeve too it. Would 100% knit again in different colours. I used a merino double knit wool so it’s so lush and warm for winter.
Super flot design, som jeg havde drømt om at strikke længe. Som (forholdsvist) ny strikker, var jeg positivt overrasket over, hvor simpelt det var at lave kablerne - det har helt sikkert givet mig mod på at kaste mig ud i mere strukturstrik og sværere teknikker.
