Pattern Description from Vogue Knitting, Spring/Summer 2009: “Paton’s ‘Grace’ is an appropriately named yarn choice for this elegant tie-front cardigan by Fiona Ellis. The yoke is worked in an eyelet pattern that alternates with right- and left-slanting cable panels. A crochet chain cord threaded through eyelets at the bustline makes a nice final touch.”
