Latest creation, modeled by Penguin

Penguin is sporting the latest creation. It's got a simple diamond cable filled with seed stitch surrounded by a simple cable on both sides. Here's the layout:

P4, 4-stitch cable, 10-stitch diamond, P4, 4-stitch cable, P4, 4-stitch cable, 10-stitch diamond, P4, 10-stitch diamond, P4, 4-stitch cable, P4, 4-stitch cable, 10-stitch diamond, P4, 4-stich cable, P4. The edges are seed stitched.

It's not exactly like the one found at knitty.com, but close to it, because I did not have the specified yarn size as stated on the original pattern, but it's close enough. When I find the link I'll post it. Here it is: http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring05/PATTtrellis.html

The hat was stitched flat: P2, 4-stitch cable, P4, 10-stitch diamond, P4, 4-stitch cable, P2. After reaching the correct circumference, sew together. Pick up stitches on one side of the hat and decrease by 5 stitches evenly with every row, until you have less than 10 stitches left. Sew together/pull together. Finish off with a braid and a simple tassel.

Simple V-neck cardigan

I'm so happy with the way this sweater came out! It was knitted from the bottom up using a plain garter stitch for four stitches and then knit on the fifth stitch all the way across on the right side of the sweater until the bottom of the armholes. On the wrong side, it would be knitted all the way across except when you get to the column of knit stitches which would be purled so that the knit pattern would show up on the right side. (Does that make sense?)...and then the arms were picked up after the shoulders were sewn together and knitted all the way down to a simple cuff. The v-neck was created by decreasing every other row on the v-neck edge of the sweater. I'm still making a hat to match and I can't wait to see how it will look.
