Gramps cardigan by Kate Oates

Kate Oates has just updated her pattern of the Gramps cardigan which is a gorgeous cabled cardigan worked from the bottom up with raglan-style seamless sleeves. the shawl collar is extended with short rows to be wider at the neckline. Kate has used the gros lambswool in very light pink.

the pattern includes 13 sizes and several lengths.

you can either knit it oversized to be comfy or to your chest measurement for a little more sass. cables are knit on the fronts and modified for the sleeves and the back is knit in a wide-wale rib.

the cable pattern is written and cabled. Additional options for varying lengths and 3/4 sleeves.

the Biches & Bûches wool bundle includes Le Gros Lambswool in the quantity for your chosen size + the Biches & Bûches tote bag of the moment.

Please find Kate’s pattern on Ravelry.
