Kaffe Fassett Lattice V Neck, Glorious Knits, Vintage Rowan Tweed, Chenille, LDK

Description

Kaffe Fassett Lattice Pattern V-neck Sweater Kit - long discontinued Rowanspun Tweed, Kaffe Fassett Light Tweed, Lightweight DK Wool, Fine Cotton Chenille, and Chunky Chenille
"Lattice Pattern V-Neck" is one of the designs that got me addicted to Rowan yarns and Kaffe Fassett patterns.  I was visiting my sister-in-law in Illinois when a copy of
Glorious Knits
caught my eye and imagination.  Lattice is a perfect design for fall and winter.
Although modeled on a man,  the pullover is a classic Kaffe design and would be equally attractive on a woman.  Knit with vintage Rowanspun Tweed, Chunky Cotton Chenille, Kaffe Fassett Light Tweed, Fine Cotton Chenille, and Lightweight DK wool, Lattice will work up quickly and be the perfect Holiday gift for that special guy (or gal) on your knitting list.  The colors are classic and tweedy - still fresh three decades after they were put together in the late 1980's.  The jumper features simple shaping, inset drop shoulder sleeves, a v neck, and simple striped rib bands.  It can be made in either of two sizes - medium to fit up to a 38 inch chest/bust, or large to fit up to a 42 inch chest/bust.  Given the geometric nature of the design it could be scaled up or down.  We can furnish additional yarn.  Just ask.  The pattern is knit using the intarsia method from a chart.  It is suitable for intermediate knitters who are comfortable with intarsia color changes.  The pattern calls for a tension of 17 stitches and 22 rows to 4 inches (10 cm) on US 9  (5.5 mm) needles.
