Cabled Leaf Pullover
designed by Alana Dakos
This lovely sweater is from Never Not Knitting. I would buy the pattern if it wasn't on Ravelry and I don't see another way to purchase it. I love so many things about it and I'm pretty sure I could knit something similar using a basic jumper pattern adding waist darts.
Is the neck bound in I-cord?
I spent some pleasant hours today going through Ann Budd's books and realizing what a treasure trove they are. A big positive change for me is that I'll be more of a thinking knitter and working some things out for myself. I carry some weight in my mid-section and think this sweater could be more flattering if each half front had that neck but was simply bound in I-cord all the way down. Then the two fronts could be invisibly stitched together. You'd still have the split neck but would lose the knitted motifs and instead have two rows of I-cord running down the front. - and maybe a zipper instead of stitching the fronts together.
If anyone knows of another way to buy this pattern, please let me know. Alana Dakos is a gifted designer!
