Whisky, Neat
Whisky, Neat is a cozy pullover featuring a delicate cable detail around the hem. Once the cable detail is complete, ribs extend upwards into the body, ending in a subtly staggered pattern on the yoke. Simple detail on this sweater is what stands out, and it was an amazingly relaxing knit!
I love the softness that the halo in my Peace Fleece Worsted adds to this wear-everywhere piece. The yarn is lovely and rustic, but a subtle fuzz gives it a feminine feel, and the creamy white is just gorgeous. Color is Antarctic White.
The sweater is worked seamlessly from the bottom up, with raglan shaping and short rows to shape the yoke. There are many spots in this one where you can modify the fit - length, body circumference, yoke depth, neckline shaping, and sleeves. Notes are in the pattern on how and where to do so.
Cable instructions are both charted and written out.
