Castle Hill
When I saw Castle Hill I felt sooooo nostalgic for my early days of knitting. It reminds me of the endless parade of cabled pullovers that were all the rage in knitting magazines in the mid 90s. I had a subscription to Vogue Knitting, and even though I didn’t really know what I was doing, I loved looking at the pictures and imagining all the sweaters I could make. And now here it is, back again, and I know what I’m doing now, and this time round there’s an absolute universe of YouTube videos to help me with anything I don’t know. This updated version has a shorter, cropped length and elbow-length sleeves (although you can make them longer if you like).
Knit in Berroco Modern Cotton yarn, Castle Hill is knit in the round from the bottom up to the underarms, where the back and front are completed separately and seamed at the shoulders. Sleeves are knit flat separately and seamed during finishing. The cable pattern is written out, not charted.
