Wrought iron gates, windows, screens, and stair railings can be incredibly detailed in examples of California Revival architecture. I wanted to play with the ways ironwork scrolls and twists across vertical ribs in these pieces. Twisted and twisted travelling stitches were the perfect way to translate this to knitting.

This Cardi is part of the Wrought patterns found in California Revival Knits. I love the curls and curves you can obtain with the traveling stitches.

Pattern Notes

The sweater is knit from the top down, with stitches picked up from the shoulder straps, fronts and back joined at the armholes, and continued in one piece.

Motifs are charted only. Remainder of directions are written.

Waist shaping is included for a flattering, body-skimming fit.

The sleeves are worked by picking up stitches along the armhole, working short rows for the cap shaping, then continuing in the round.
