The sweater designs of Field Guide No. 9: Revolution knit to the same gauge—that’s revolutionary!

With its short sleeves, the Calligraphy Cardigan gives us a new way of thinking about the garments we make. Freedom from long sleeves means we can wear this cardigan with a T-shirt, long sleeved or short, or button it up and wear it as is.

The sculptural yoke shows us cable innovator Norah Gaughan playing with circles and curves, creating a yoke that looks as much like a calligraphy doodle as a knitting pattern. The scale is big—a juicy, dimensional design that is probably not like any cable you’ve worked.

Notes
Cardigan is worked from top down to arm-holes, then sleeves and body are divided and worked separately to bottom edge. Short rows are used to shape back neck. Place markers between Cable Pattern repeats to track position in pattern. Special Technique:
German Short Rows.
