Ribbonwood Pullover

The Ribbonwood Pullover features one of my favourite cabled lace motifs that I initially developed for a triangular shawl.

The sweater begins with a provisional cast on at the back neck, which becomes perfectly invisible once all stitches are picked up to begin the body and raglan increases. Because the raglan placement is tipped towards the back when worn, this creates the high-low hem effect without having to work short rows.

The Ribbonwood motif begins at the centre front and back, and also runs sinuously down each arm. The motif then flows seamlessly into the lower body border, which is a cabled lace extravaganza – sure to set any lace lover’s heart aflutter.
