A lovely cable and lace pattern graces the front of
RosyPosy Designs' Rhodes, a slightly fitted, wide-necked
raglan pullover, worked top-down in the round for a seamless project. Offset
cables offer detailing on the back of the ¾-length sleeves, and crossed
ribbing adds elegance to the hems. For a fun accent, work the hem edges in a
contrast color.
This pattern is for intermediate to advanced knitters;
charted instructions are used.
Special design features: boat-neck, twisted ribbing, cable
accents on back of sleeves, eyelet increases, 3/4-length sleeves.
