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.
