Cascade Locks

Cascade Locks is a simply elegant top that is worked top down in a seamless manner that allows for fit and length adjustments as  you go.    What a fun way to construct a sweater!  The stitch pattern is easy to memorize and makes for a great takealong knitting project.  This is a versatile and flattering sweater to dress up or down.  

The slight A-line body style includes lots of texture with mock cables (no cable needle needed!) running horizontally through the yoke and longer side and back hemline for a fun and flattering fit for many body types.  The scoop neck is finished in I-Cord as are the sleeve cuffs and the angled hemline.  The loose, flowing sleeves match the body style.

Skills Used:  Provisional cast on, short rows, picking up stitches, I-cord (instructions provided), grafting (for I-Cord join). 

Skill level:  Advanced Beginner

The yoke section is worked flat, horizontally from shoulder to shoulder, stitches picked up for body which is worked in the round.
