BLOCKING DIAGRAM

FOR THIS swingy cable jumper, Debbie Bliss took inspiration from Christian Dior’s 1940s New Look fashion collection, which was characterised by luxury and femininity. Debbie has created a richly textured fabric which will feel wonderful for autumn and winter wear. The project is knitted flat, using Debbie’s hard-wearing yet super-soft Cashmerino Aran yarn. This is available in a palette of 32 neutral, bright and pastel colours.

PATTERN NOTES

When working with a large number of stitches, you will find it easier to use circular needles and work back and forth in rows, not rounds.
