Weybridge
Weybridge
Weybridge is a top-down, A-line cardigan featuring a stunning combination of lace, cables, and Fair Isle. And it is the next addition to the Stepaside Collection! Cables bridge the lace in all directions and then sleekly become the pocket edges. The cardigan is finished with an upper placket of cables for the buttonband that bridges the upper body.
The pattern has two different options for the Fair Isle: in-the-flat with no steeks or in-the-round with steeks. The pattern starts with the shoulder Fair Isle bands so it's a perfect starter project for someone that has not steeked, but wants to and does not want to work colourwork flat.
The cable lace is charted only.
