Shandy from Baby Cocktails is a dainty women’s cardigan with a beautiful
cable and scallop detail designed to showcase a delicate heather or wool fiber.
The balance of simple scallops next to bold braids makes a gorgeous texture that
manages to both standout and remains subtle at the same time. Shandy is
designed with a cropped silhouette and an easy fit for layering. The sweater is knit
flat in one piece from the bottom to the armholes. Once shoulders are seamed,
sleeve stitches are picked around the armholes, shaped with short rows, then
knit in the round to the cuffs. Button and neck bands are added last. The cable
patterns are charted and written out.
