Ginger
This pattern is featured in issue 15 of Laine Magazine.
It is now available as a single pattern in my Ravelry store.
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. Non-superwash yarns with a bit of wooly tooth are recommended for this design.
