The twisted cables provide warmth and stretchiness. The stitch pattern is a traditional Bavarian pattern. The cables are constructed very logically and the symmetrical folded hems ensure a harmonious, satisfying, and joyful knitting result.

A few words about the yarn: It’s merino yarn from a local Bavarian spinning mill. It’s not at all scratchy, but robust and durable, available in many colors, and very affordable. Perfect for cables and travelling twisted stitches. I highly recommend it.

A few words about pricing: sometimes you buy a pattern, download it, and then you’re disappointed, or you realize it’s not suitable for your needs. Sometimes you’re just curious and want to see how it’s structured.

So I offer the pattern for free but if you find it valuable after downloading it, you’re welcome to download another, paid pattern from my Ravelry store. (Or if you’d like to send me sats, feel free to contact me.)
