Pebble stone cardi is worked top down and seamless, starting with a textured doubled mandarin collar. The ‘rings’ or ‘pebbles’ are easy to knit and give a great result. The invisible sleeve inset (really invisible ;) is worked by unusual placed increases at the front, back and shoulders that give a very flattering look. And there are pockets (of course ;)

All techniques (provisional cast-on, short-rows, pick & knit stitches …) are fully explained and illustrated.

Instructions for short or long sleeves.
