Wieck is a tunic length pullover featuring large cable panels at the front and back with open sides which can be secured with buttons (a button-less version is also included)

The cable panel is a tribute to a small fishing village, Wieck, our family lived close to for many years: the honeycomb twist stitch cable mimics the fishing nets while the modified Trellis diamonds represents the gentle waves of the shallow bay.

• 13 to 25 Stitch markers
• Optional removable markers (to mark increases/decreases/cable repeats)
