Use an extra needle to k2tog with the first st from each needle *join next st on each needle with k2tog and then pass st at right on right needle over left st (see page 134). Place back and front with RS facing RS and join with 3-needle bind-off. Shape the other side the same way, reversing shaping to correspond. Do not BO leave sts on needle for joining shoulders. As for front, the charts do not include all the sts for the back-just enough so you can see where the turns occur = 26 (26, 30, 30) sts. Work short row shaping as for front, but follow Chart D (E, E, E). Pm around the center 36 (52, 52, 52) sts. Work another 8 rows (Rows 16-23 of Chart A). Work the back as for the front until there are 4 (5, 5, 5) complete arrows. NOTE: Due to space restrictions, not all of the sts for the front are included on the chart-just enough so you can see where the turns occur = 26 (26, 30, 30) sts.ĭo not BO, but, place rem sts on a holder. Continue short row shaping on every other row as est until you’ve worked all the rows on the chart. The slipped st is indicated with ₵ on the chart. On RS: Work to marker turn and work back. Pm around the center 20 (36, 36, 36) sts. Neck shaping: Shape neck with short rows (see pages 136-137) and following Chart B (C, C, C). Work as est until there are 4 (5, 5, 5) complete arrows end with Row 47. The edge sts will be used for seaming and are worked the same way on both RS and WS: Sl 1 purlwise wyf, k1 end row with k2 edge sts. BO the center 10 (10, 10, 18) sts at each side for the armhole shaping = 3 (3, 3, 5) cables and the purl sts between them.īegin at the front: CO 2 sts for edge sts, work follow-ing chart on RS and end by casting on 2 edge sts = 98 (114, 122, 122) sts rem. There is a group of 5 (5, 7, 9) cables at each side. Make sure the last row is an odd-numbered row so the cables cross on the RS as before. L: *Work sts 1-16, 1-40, 1-40, 1-40* rep * to * = 9 cables on each side and 5 between arrows.Ĭontinue, following the chart through Row 47. M: *Work sts 1-8, 1-40, 1-40, 1-40* rep * to * = 7 cables on each side and 5 between arrows. S: Work sts 1-40 6 times = 5 cables on each side and 5 between arrows. Work Row 16 and then follow Chart A as below (de-pending on chosen size)Ĭhild: *Work sts 1-40, 9-40, 9-40* rep * to * = 5 cables on each side and 3 between arrows. Size L: Work Rows 1-8 of chart and then Rows 1-15. Size M: Work Rows 1-4 of chart and then Rows 1-15. Sizes Child and S: Work Rows 1-15 of chart. Join, being careful not to twist cast-on row. Knit the first stitch through the back loop and then slide both stitches off the needle. Narrow cables are quite easy to knit without a cable needle! With the needle behind the first stitch, knit the second stitch into the back loop but do not drop it off the needle. Of course, you can work the design without any twisted stitches, but that will affect the gauge enough that the sizing will change. The neckband is the only place without twisted knit stitches, because it needs extra elasticity. Twisting is easier on knit rather than purl stitches, so this sweater is worked in the round as much as possible. I love it when everything works out smoothly! Pattern NotesĪll the knit stitches on the chart are twisted (worked through the back loop) but I refrained from marking each with a special symbol. The neck is shaped with short rows so you can continue with the “resting” stitches and the pattern flows naturally to the ribbed edge. The half repeats, which end at the front and back pieces, also transform into a new block pattern over the shoulders. The sweater is constructed so the narrow cables on the lower edge either continue as a group or transition into other patterns. I’ve knitted many variations of it-the first time was on a sweater for my mother, about 20 years ago. The pattern is worked with twisted stitches against a reverse stockinette background to heighten the relief effect. It seems like everyone sees something different in this pattern: arrowheads, tulips, and fox heads are some of the suggestions I’ve gotten. Adjust needle size to obtain correct gauge if necessary. size 1.5 / 2.5 mm: 16 in / 40 cm circular, cable needleĢ5 sts in st st on u.s. size 2.5 / 3 mm: 24 in / 60 cm for child’s size, 32 in / 80 cm for adult sizes + 1 extra for joining, set of 5 dpn for sleeves, u.s.
