THE DELICATE cable pattern on Emma Vining’s cardigan features leaf motifs which gradually enlarge in size from the lower edge to the upper body. The pattern panel is worked on a reverse stocking stitch background on either side of the front band. Leaf pattern panels are also worked in the centre of the garment back, and up the sleeves. Emma’s design is worked in a beautifully soft and lustrous British wool from Blacker Yarns.
