Comments: Swatch is 2 repeats + 9 st (28cm) wide and 2 repeats (24cm) high. Requires a lot of blocking to enhance the eyelets in the pattern. The reverse has a lot of structural interest, see below. If the piece is left unblocked, the cables are more pronounced.

Comments: Swatch is 2 repeats wide by 2 repeats high. Gauge is only approximate because the number of stitches per repeat varies between 14 and 16 depending on the row being worked. The reverse side looks almost like it’s quilted (see below)

Page: 139

Comments: Swatch is 2 repeats wide by 2 repeats high (with cable cross from 3rd repeat for balance). Piece definitely needed blocked/stretched for the pattern to be fully appreciated. Perhaps best suited to ‘form-fitting’ garments.
