Tapestry II
Tapestry II is a beautifully designed worsted-weight cardigan that brings together classic cable and lace techniques to create a richly textured piece you'll love to wear. Featuring a flattering stitch pattern that accentuates the waist, this cardigan is not only stylish but also incredibly cozy. The unique cabled-button band is crafted seamlessly up the front and cleverly wraps around the neck, adding an extra layer of warmth and elegance.
Construction: The Tapestry II cardigan is knitted flat in one continuous piece from the bottom to the underarms, ensuring a smooth and streamlined finish. After reaching the underarms, the project is divided into two fronts and a back, which allows for easy and comfortable wear. The cabled buttonband is cleverly integrated as part of the sweater body, extending into a narrow band that elegantly encircles the neckline. Ingeniously designed buttonholes are created as eyelets within the front cable, enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, the sleeves are set in for a polished look that completes this stunning sweater.

You'll also learn how to read charts, providing you with the tools necessary to tackle future knitting projects with confidence.
Pattern includes: This comprehensive pattern package features clear written instructions, stitch patterns presented in charted format only, detailed schematics, and a helpful glossary to assist you throughout your knitting journey.
Gauge: To achieve the best results, aim for a gauge of 19 stitches and 26 rows = 4" in stockinette stitch, and 16 stitches and 30 rows = 4" in seed stitch when using size 7 needles. Maintaining the correct gauge is essential for ensuring that your cardigan fits beautifully.
