Product Details
Anyone who's seen The Tudors (or has a basic grasp of English History) will probably understand how wary I as when my husband quoted Henry VIII as an inspiration. Thankfully, it wasn't in marital terms but for his taste in celtic decorations. An intricate knotwork pattern taken from a famous portrait of him (Henry Tudor, not my husband) was the inspiration for this design.
This sweater is designed to be challenging for the knitter and use lesser-known cable techniques. It is a classic raglan shape, with the left raglan seam left open and fastened with leather buckles. You can also make it as a regular raglan sweater if you prefer: just sew the seam up to the collar and leave out the buckles.
The yarn I chose (Pur Merinos Français from Bergere de France) is a gorgeous French merino with a beautifully matte finish, and it's ethically sourced too! It really lends itself perfectly to cables and textured stitches and comes in lots of yummy earthy colours.
