CONSTRUCTION
The Duelling Wands pattern begins with a cast on at the neckline, creating a beautifully squared neckline that is both stylish and comfortable. You will then continue working the chest section along with the reverse stocking stitch cabled sleeves in one seamless piece until reaching a specified chest stitch count. Once this count is achieved, the arm stitches are placed on waste yarn, allowing you to finish the body in the round. After completing the body, the sleeve stitches are returned to the needles and knitted in the round, with the cable design extending the full length of the sleeves, adding an elegant touch to this magical piece.
