Colonel Brandon on Ravelry (no account necessary)
Available in Jane Austen Knits 2015 $14.99 (print and instant dowload)
What you'll love about knitting Colonel Brandon:
- Seamless design worked in the round means you are always looking at the front of your work and can better keep track of all those cables
- The cable patterns are aligned, which means you work the "action" rounds all together - it's easier to keep track of what you're doing this way
- The hybrid yoke cleverly shapes the sweater to the body while still showing off those wonderful cables
What you'll love about wearing Colonel Brandon:
- Garter stitch collar/cuffs/hem provide a clean finish
- Hybrid yoke creates lovely square shoulders
- Cables tell the story of Colonel Brandon's romantic life
