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.
Designer: Daniela Nii
Difficulty: Easy
Yarn Weight: 6
Finished Size: 35 (39½ , 44, 48¾ , 53¼ )” bust circumference. Vest shown measures

Needles: Size 13 (9 mm): 32″ circular (cir). Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge.

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.
