Home » Miscellany » Maybe Monday: Cabled Cardigans
I saw two sort of similar cabled cardigans this week on Ravelry and I love them both! They are both hip-length open cardigans with cabled details and I think one of them should be my next sweater project!
They are the Quadraphonic Cardigan by Ruth Garcia-Alcantud and Wink by Hanna Maciejewska.
First up, the Quadraphonic Cardigan:
I am absolutely in love with the back of this cardigan. Can you see how it sort of flares out at the waist? I think that would be really flattering on my body. I also like the mix of simple garter stitch on the edgings and stockinette everywhere else. I don’t love the sleeve length, but that is easy enough to modify.
Next is Wink:
I like this one a whole lot! It’s definitely got a lot more going on than Quadraphonic, which would make it really interesting to knit. I love the cabling on the sleeves, it is just gorgeous! Not so sure I love the raised seams or the fact that it’s mostly in reverse stockinette, which is just not my favorite pattern… I always feel like I’m wearing something inside out. (Which I think is sort of the look this designer was going for, actually). I’m not 100% sure how I feel about the ribbing on the front. I love the way it looks, but I’m not sure I would like the way it hangs on my body.
So… which one will I knit? Tough to say. I think I would like the Quadraphonic Cardigan better once it’s finished, but Wink sure does look fun to knit! Luckily, I’ve got a while before I will have time to start a large project like a sweater, so I have plenty of time to mull it over.
Which one do you like?
I love knitting and crocheting beautiful things, but there is also something very satisfying about…
