Barberry CHART PATTERNS
“INSPIRED BY little clusters of berries and leaves, my cardigan combines cables and bobbles for an embossed look,” explains Emma Vining. “The decorative panels are bordered by twisted stitch ropes, extending up from the cast-on borders. The lower borders have an extended twisted stitch rope pattern; the fronts have two pockets embedded within this border.”
