I happen to be a huge fan of texture in knitting, which you may be starting to realize if you have made any of my other patterns. I was dreaming of fall and playing with some knit swatches when this cuddly, soft creation came to me. It is worked flat with a cable pattern that alternates to create the feeling of movement. The cable is sandwiched between fun and simple lace repeats. It feels as good as it looks and is an heirloom for whoever receives one.
