Liberty Tree Pullover
Field Guide No. 9: Revolution sweater designs all knit to the same gauge—that’s revolutionary.
A tree makes for a beautiful cable pattern. In designing this classic, body-skimming pullover, Norah Gaughan was thinking about Boston’s famed Liberty Tree, the location of the first public protest against the British government’s Stamp Act in 1765. The cable’s branches intertwine, then fan out at the edge of the yoke, tipped in bobbles that are not too bobbly. They are just bobbly enough.
Norah chose Spud ’n’ Chloe Sweater, a wool and cotton blend that we really love, for this timeless garment.
Notes
Pullover worked in round from top down to armholes; sleeves and body are divided and worked separately in round to bottom edge. Short rows shape back neck. Special technique: German Short Rows.
