The cable pattern was inspired by a grate covering seen in Prague and is featured on the back yoke & sleeves with a smaller version of the patterning either side of the center front openings.

Wenceslas is worked in pieces from the bottom up, the sewn together. The cable of each sleeve becomes a saddle that forms the shoulder and upper back, meeting at the centre back neck.
