I have been at this a while, but finally completed the project. This size 44, is made of fingering yarn on a size 3 circle needle. It is designed to go over the top of thermo ski clothing. My thinking was “sweat shirt.”
The overlayed design on the bottom of the body of the sweater is done with lace weight yarn. The stitches are worked in between the stockinette stitches of the sweater. Every other row the black decorative stitches are slipped, then the following row are cabled over in whatever direction I want them to go. They ride freely between the stitches. It has the appearance of crocheted stitches.
You will notice in the photo above that I also worked the same design at the top of the sleeves.
All the ribbed sections began with an invisible cast on.
I made this for my grandson who is in the Navy.
You can be sure I will include washing instructions and moth deterrent in the box.
Happy Knitting!!
