The stitch pattern for this cardigan reminded me of the effect that the wind makes on top of the ocean. With a gentle breeze, ripples in the form of scales appear on the surface of the water with small wavelets. The Beaufort scale is an empirical measure that relates wind speed to observed conditions on the sea and land. Beaufort 5 was chosen because it is a ‘fresh breeze’ and it is hoped that making this is like a breath of fresh air.

Beaufort 5 is worked seamlessly from the top down. Both the back and the front are worked in texture pattern. Knitting starts with the cast on of the shoulders for the back. Once the short row shaped shoulder slope is done, the back is worked flat to underarm. Shoulder stitches are picked up to work the front to the same length. At underarm both fronts and back are joined to work the body top down back and forth to the bottom hem. An I-Cord edging is worked next. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the arm openings to work the sleeves in plain Stockinette stitch top down in rounds to the cuffs.
