Mountain Bracken is a drop shoulder using Worsted weight weigh yarn and is knit from the bottom up in two pieces. The shoulder seems are completed using a three needle bind off, and the sleeves are picked up and knit in the round. The ribbing is all done using twisted stitch. This garment has a few extra fun gems too, it uses a simple 4 stitch cable pattern along the sides of each panel (also doubles as a clean sewing indicator when sewing up the sides) and finally, the shoulders on both the front and back panel have a simple winding lace pattern starting along the bust and running up to the shoulder cap ribbing. The patterns are Chart Only.
