"Worked from the bottom up, the straightforward construction provides knitters with sizing and proportion options on both body and sleeves, making it easy to create the fit that’s just right for you. The deep 2x2 ribbed yoke begins below the chest level for a flattering overall proportion, and the pullover’s plain stockinette lower section and simple 1x1 ribbed trims keep the focus on the beautiful shaping details of the yoke. The extra wide raglan lines are not only visually pleasing but also help shape the front and back neckline curve for a more comfortable fit." — designer, Jared Flood Designer: Jared Flood Share on social: #BigRibRaglan
A mossy evergreen forest rendered in textured stitches. Cascades is a classic pullover in Shelter with panels of tree motifs in twisted stitches against a ground of double moss stitch. Columns of tiny, mirrored cables define the shifts in stitch pattern to create flattering vertical lines and pleasing side details. The body and sleeves are worked circularly from the bottom up and joined at the yoke, which is worked in the round until the neck shaping. The twisted-rib cuffs and hem flow beautifully from a rib cabled cast on, a useful technique fully explained in the pattern. Cascades is worked from a combination of charted and written instructions. Knit it in a modern bright hue—our sample is in Hayloft—or go timeless with a pale neutral like Fossil or Snowbound. Designer: Michele Wang Collection: Fall 2015

“Aquinnah’s design was inspired by the rocky shores of the Brannock Islands on the northwest end of the Aran archipelago, windswept and lonely. A solitary lighthouse serves as a reminder of the Aran fishing tradition, and of the families who waited for the fishermen to return home.” – Kerry Robb Aquinnah wraps you in plush warmth and classic cable motifs: five-rope Aran braids and honeycomb cables. Four-stitch cabled twists and little strands of twisted rib punctuate the primary motifs and vary the scale; I-cord stabilizes the long edges and keeps the look clean and linear. The pattern offers three different sizes of wrap: a small stole in Shelter, a wider version in Quarry, and a 7-foot magnum opus in Shelter large enough to cuddle into with a loved one. Choose a color that coordinates with your home design, as you’ll want to leave this handsome accessory draped over your favorite chair to admire when you’re not wearing it.
