I revamped the pattern for a reverse stockinette stitch version and I prefer how the skull pops. It’s a lot of purling, though!

In the pattern, some knit stitches are double wrapped to accommodate the tightness of the wide cables. In this version, I actually double wrapped all the stitches for any cable that moved every row (instead of every other row). This would be the lower jaws, the eyes and the upper skull. I also did it for the teeth to make them more exaggerated.

I with the teeth popped out more, there’s got to be a way! I have designed the full size sweater chart and it’s much easier to get detail in a larger space.
