Norah Gaughan Rope & Braid PDF

Nora Gaughan Rope & Braid is part of a series of pieces with interchangeable charts. The charts from Baroque, Ladybug, and Swirl can also be used to make a sweater following the Rope & Braid instructions. This women’s pullover is from the top down in the round, and the neck trim is added later. The pullover has an elliptical hem with a fabulous cable patterned yoke knit in Berroco Ultra Wool, a 100% superwash wool yarn that's a real workhorse! With a nice twist and 4 plies, this machine-washable yarn is sturdy and comes in a huge palette of solid and heathered colors. The cable pattern is in chart form only.
