Fav Bobble Sweater — Bobble & Cable Pullover
To tell the truth, I’ve never liked bobbles — I think it’s because the sweet and cute image didn’t suit me. However, I decided I shouldn’t avoid them forever, so I designed my own bobble sweater. I arranged them in a line and found they had a surprisingly appealing look. I had so much fun knitting the bobbles that I ended up working them on the sleeves as well. The result is a sweater that puts me in a good mood every time I wear it.
The pullover is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up, then sewn together. The shoulders are joined using a 3-needle bind-off. The sleeves are sewn to the body, then the side and sleeve seams are sewn together.
