Quadrille Pullover

With gracefully waving Hourglass and Hollow Oak patterns, Quadrille will have you dancing in no time. Feminine waist-shaping and 3/4 sleeves ensure they know you are the “lady”, even when you take the lead.
Originally inspired by a knitted Irish wool vest my grandmother brought back from Ireland, Quadrille highlights the delightful Hollow Oak cable with its waving stitches, bobbles, and seed stitch. But I thought we needed a little something MORE, so Hourglass stitch fills the front panel and wends its way up the sleeves. To streamline the design a little, the underside of the sleeves, sides, and back are in Stockinette Stitch, which made room for waist shaping to make this figure-flattering.
Of course you can always leave off the waist-shaping, if that’s not for you. Or make the sleeves (and/or body) longer to fit YOU.

What you’ll love about knitting Quadrille:
- worked bottom-up in the round, which makes for an almost finish-free knit
- bobbles, cables, and twisted stitches make the knitting fun without being overwhelming
- ribbing at hem, cuffs, and collar flows smoothly into/out of the main stitch patterns
- DK weight sweater is the perfect weight for multiple seasons, especially with 3/4 sleeves
- waist shaping makes for a figure-flattering knit
- collar is slightly dropped in the front to highlight your collar bones
