At Sea Pattern

$8.00

Experienced. Updated and expanded to five sizes. This is the sweater I designed for the beautiful book Knitting In America, by Melanie Falick, which has been re-released as America Knits.

Description

The body is patterned with seven columns of motifs, including seam stitches of baby cables that begin after the garter stitch ridge, follow the body to the gusset where the seams split and surround it, meeting again in the sleeve to complete the journey into the cuffs.  Anchors, starfish,  cables, Indian Corn Stitch, and Scottish Flags are all part of the design. The pattern offers a choice of a rolled neck or a cabled neckband, and lots of detail in the patterning.

Featured Techniques: The Channel Island Cast-on, Underarm Gussets, Inverted Triangular Neck Gussets.
