Oversized and cozy, Bishop is fun to knit and easy to wear. Cabled decreases shape the deep yoke, and add visual interest to the Stockinette stitch back; while short rows and decreases give a clean fit at the neck edge. Originally published in Berroco Portfolio V. 6, Bishop is now available as a single pattern. Completely rewritten and edited pattern features an expanded size range and easy to follow instructions and charts.
All cable patterns are fully charted and written out, and a full schematic is included.
