BabyCocktails Plum Wine PDF

Baby Cocktails' Plum Wine is a classic cardigan with interesting lines at the shoulder and a beautifully delicate cable pattern. The motif is a combination of slipped stitches and cables, and the vertical lines in the detail make for a flattering silhouette in a long cardigan. It’s accented by bolder slipped stitches along the fronts, and the patterned body of the sweater is set off by simple stockinette sleeves and shoulders. The distinct, tailored shoulders show up beautifully in the heathered yarn, and then switch to stockinette makes knitting the shaping portion nice and easy! This is a versatile layering piece that can be worn year-round. The cable pattern is charted and written out.
