Vodka On The Rocks

$8.00

Vodka On The Rocks is the second pattern in the Vodka Collection, adding a bit of texture and some cables to the mix. The body is knit from the bottom up and sleeves are worked separately and joined at the yoke. Construction is seamless, but there’s just a bit more detail this time. Cable instructions are both charted and written.

The result is a sweater all about color, bold cables and overall texture, paired together to create a dramatic cardigan. Strong vertical lines and diagonals are placed so they are flattering on the body, and I’ve added a little detail in the final cable shaping along the V-neck. Plus, the details really pop in a vibrant navy blue.

Both the texture and the cables are easily memorized, and modifying for width or length is also simple. It’s like mixing up a gin and tonic - only a few ingredients, and a totally satisfying result.
