Teakwood Bulky Cardigan

Introducing another stunning design in my Teakwood series! This captivating cable and lace pattern is not only visually appealing but also incredibly addictive. It's easy to memorize, making it perfect for knitters of all skill levels. The bulky gauge ensures a quick knit, allowing you to complete this beautiful piece before winter wraps up, and it doubles as a stylish Spring jacket. The body of the pattern is expertly crafted from the bottom up, while the sleeve stitches are picked up and worked down in the round, minimizing the need for seaming. The only seams you’ll have to tackle are at the shoulders and the back of the collar, streamlining the assembly process. For this project, I used the exquisite 3-ply Heavy Fisherman Weight yarn by Beaverslide Dry Goods. This luxurious blend features 90% merino wool and 10% kid mohair, showcasing a lovely Dark Natural Gray Heather color. The distinctive Z ply of this yarn enhances the finished cable and lace patterns, giving them a unique and textured look. If you're considering a substitute yarn, be mindful that many common options use an S ply, which may alter the final appearance of your project. To achieve the best results, take a moment to check your gauge before you dive in. Crafting this piece will not only elevate your knitting skills but also add a versatile and fashionable item to your wardrobe. Happy knitting!
