Ginger
Ginger is a combination of interesting construction, cosy shape and fun stitch patterns. Dolman shaping along the underarms gives the sweater comfortable ease. The sweater is knitted sideways from cuff to cuff, with a cable pattern along one sleeve that splits at the neck opening before joining on the other sleeve.
Ginger was first published in Issue 15 of Laine Magazine.
