Bobbles & Braids
Bobbles & Braids pairs two of my favorite stitches on a pullover for a playful deign: bobbles and braided cables! The sweater features a drop shoulder, boxy fit with fitted sleeves and a wide shallow neckline. Knit from the bottom up in the round, the top of the front and back are worked separately and seamed at the shoulders. The 3/4 length sleeves are picked up and worked in the round outward from the body. Bobbles & Braids is knit up in Spincycle Yarns new Metamorphic yarn, featuring a black base with tweedy colors mixed in. This design is fun to knit and is sure to become a wardrobe staple!
