Hesperus

A sideways-knit cocoon cardigan with triangle panels and inserts, reminiscent of a ship at sail. Hesperus is started at each cuff and worked towards the center, with the stitch pattern shifting across the front as the body progresses. The back is shaped with short rows and the whole piece is framed with a garter stitch edging. Techniques used: working flat, working in the round, increasing, decreasing, short rows, three needle bind off, and a very small amount of seaming.

The sample was knit in Jill Draper Makes Stuff Mohonk. A substitute yarn is shown below.
