In the Margin – I can’t be the only one doodling in the margin of my notebook during lectures, using all the lines to create patterns that somehow assisted with the retention of information.

The interruption to the ribbed band of the cable panel, reminds me of those doodles.

Worked from the rib and cable band to the crown, in the round.

The pattern is suitable for combinations of solid, tonal and multicoloured yarns.

If using a single colour, solid or tonal will allow the cables to shine.

The two colour version is a great scrap buster.
