Notes

Making this sweater using the Cable and Ladder stitch pattern from Barbara G. Walker’s book A Second Treasury of Knitting Patterns.

I fell in love with this stitch pattern the first time I saw it. I’m centering the pattern repeats by putting the repeat break in the center of the back and front - I think this will give it a better place for the v-neck on the front.

I had to change row 1 of the pattern stitch to end with a purl stitch, not a knit stitch as it makes the pattern unbalanced.

5 pattern repeats and 7 more rows before starting to shape the armholes. Finished the armhole shaping after working row 8 of pattern stitch.

V-neck option. Forgot to do the short row shaping on the front.

05-14-2017

Increasing on V-neck every 4th row for all 19 increases to lower the neckline.

05-23-2017

After joining under the armhole I added 8 stitches in the center of the armholes. On the next 2 right side rows I added one stitch on each side of the markers that are in the center of the armhole. There are now enough stitches to have 16 complete pattern repeats.

06-17-2017

15” from armhole to bottom edge.

06-19-2017

84 stitches in the sleeves.

Repeat pattern 1.5 times before starting decreases.

06-21-2017

Decreases on row 4.

Work 7 decreases and finish pattern - row 8. Half sleeves.
