I recently finished a lovely garter rib v neck sweater for grandson Theodore. It is from Patons Dreamtime 4 ply book 1271. The garter rib is very easy, just a K3, P3 repeat on every row. It gives a nice ribbed effect and the colour contrast on cuffs and lower edges is very attractive. Just an update on this as someone has requested details about how the lower body and cuffs were done. Well this couldn't be simpler. Using the main colour knit 2 rows, then using the contrasting colour knit 2 rows. Alternate 2 rows of each colour for as long as you like. In this instance the alternating colours were kept to the lower parts of the body and the sleeves.

Sweaters warms the body very well and gives relief in cold weather. In winters mostly people use this type of garment because it covers the many part of a body very well. I also use this brand of sweater which is very reliable and manufactured in good fabrics 24/11/2017 04:05:52 pm
This is really well done. I am a fashion design student so I appreciate the intricate details on the lower part of the cuffs. It adds an extra touch of style to a plain blue sweater. I am currently making a prom dress for a client and this design has inspired me to add a little more bling at the bottom. I wish you could post a tutorial on how you made this. I’m sure a lot of people will appreciate that!
