A followup to the Guilloche hat collection, the Guilloche pullover is an exercise in
geometric elegance. Named after the embossed surface of Fabergé eggs,
this design features miniature cables that can be worked either with or without a cable needle. The classic raglan construction creates a simple backdrop
to offset details such as the fold-over neckline, the split hem, and the elongated 
 cuffs. The ribbed edgings and the raglan lines align perfectly with the cables, creating a seamless, sculptural look. With an easy-to-memorise stitch repeat and instructions fully charted for your convenience, this all-over cabled sweater is suitable for a wide range of skill levels, and is simpler to knit than it looks.

Note: You do not need to know how to ‘increase in pattern’ or ‘decrease in pattern’ in order to knit this garment. In addition to the main stitch repeat, all increase and decrease sections are fully charted with accompanying written instructions.

Note also: Unlike most of my garment patterns, this one is worked bottom-up!

Notes on Yarn Selection
For a traditional, densely knit, Irish cabled sweater, select a yarn at the Aran-weight end of the spectrum. For a lighter-weight sweater with more drape, select a yarn toward the DK end of the spectrum.
