Cliffs of Moher Vest Knitting Pattern Download

Description

No collection of cable patterns can be complete without a mock cable design. Here, you’ll work decreases and yarnovers (instead of rearranging stitches and knitting them in a new order), creating a fabric that resembles cliffs and rock formations on the coast of County Clare.

Notes:

• This vest is worked back and forth in one piece to the underarm, then fronts and back are worked separately.
• A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
• Slip the first stitch of each row purlwise with yarn in front and knit the last stitch of each row for a chain selvage.
• During shaping, if there are not enough stitches to work each decrease with its companion yarnover, knit the knit stitches and purl the purl stitches.
