Gin and Juice
Gin and Juice is all about cable texture and the subtle difference created by working one motif in two ways. Simple details tie it all together - a bit of texture along the front edges, a faux seam under each arm, and a classic ribbed collar that can be worn flat or folded back. Worn flat, it adds to the loose swing of the cardigan, and when folded back, it adds just a bit of polish while allowing the sweater to hug your body a little more. The cables themselves are deep and satisfying - both to knit and to look at! I made sure that armhole shaping leaves them intact, so the lines along the sides are clean and consistent.
The sweater silhouette is a classic one -- an open cardigan with a loose, swingy fit goes with almost anything, and straight lines allow for easy modifications for fit. (Yes, notes are in pattern on how and where to do so.)
