Working Cattail Stripes

The Cattail cardigan was released last week on Ravelry and in the shop here. The cardigan has stripes worked in a textured pattern I love.

I’ve uploaded two new videos on YouTube that give some guidance on working the 4-stitch, 4-row repeat of the of the texture. Part 1 is how to work the pattern itself…

This video provides instruction in working the stitch pattern used in the Cattail cardigan by Joan Forgione. To purchase the pattern on Ravelry: https://www....

…while Part 2 shows you how to maintain the pattern when the rows contain extra stitches (as in, not a multiple of 4 sts). This is important as you’re working the v-neckline from the top down.

I love how it works it’s magic on highly variegated and tonal yarns.
