Happy Knitting! :)

Picturesque is a top-down, seamless cardigan with round neckline and raglan sleeves.
It features a beautiful mix of textured stitch patterns and cables. The interestingly placed cable panels are emerging from the raglan lines while the center of the back, front and sleeves are knit in textured stitch patterns.
The body of the cardigan is shaped with some increases to achieve a comfortable fit around the hip but the vertical lines of the allover stitch pattern create a flattering silhouette.
The deep pockets are designed without any edgings, they are almost invisible.
Picturesque is knit in a heavy fingering and a lace weight yarn held together. You can use kidmohair if you like its beautiful halo, choose two different hues for a marled effect or knit the cardigan in a heavy worsted or aran weight yarn for a more traditional look.
The cable motives and the raglan shapings are fully charted for all sizes.
