Ribblehead

A women's yoked cardigan with colourwork detail at collar and cuffs, knitted in baa ram ewe Dovestone DK with detail in baa ram ewe Titus or Dovestone DK, sizes XS-3XL.

Inspired by the Ribblehead viaduct on the Settle and Carlisle railway running through the Yorkshire Dales, colourwork detail at the collar and cuffs using two strands of Titus to create a gradient echoes the view of the landscape framed in the arches of the viaduct. An alternative option to work the contrast colour in a single shade of Dovestone is also offered. Instructions for doing the colourwork in a modified slipped stitch technique are given, which avoids the knitter having to carry two colours in a wrong side row.
