Bed & Breakfast Pullover Knitting Pattern Download

Description

Setting out to design the perfect sweater to wear on a getaway weekend at a New England B&B, Kathy Zimmerman came upwith this lovely, body-skimming pullover. A master in cable variations, Kathy has staggered cables, some embellished with garter-stitch centers, in a central panel. Vertical ribs framing the panel add dimension and texture to the rest of the sweater, and draw it in slightly for a closer fit. Trimming the edges in a contrast color provides a little punch.
