This intricate mix of cables and lace in a fabulous chunky knit has a wonderfully intricate pattern to get your teeth into. The inspiration for my Graceful sweater came from a beautiful stitch swatch that I saw,and played around with for over a year. I made it into all sorts of accessories and I loved it so much that I wanted to put it into a garment somehow. I have used Scrumptious Chunky, because the silky sheen brings out that fabulous stitch definition, whilst also being a fairly quick knit. This project demands a solid yarn otherwise the lace will be lost. Despite being Lacey I wanted it still to be comfortable enough that the wearer can choose to put a layer on underneath. I advise to knit up a swatch first in the lace, which goes up the front and back. It may not feel particularly intuitive at first but it will certainly help you get a proper feel for the stitch pattern.
