Candyland is an ode to my love for cable
knitting. Dancing throughout the entire
sweater, the raised texture from this
extraordinary stitch reminds me of the
winding roads on childhood board games!
As you work on your sweater, I hope
you think of your favorite memories and
intertwine them into the new ones as you
twist every cable of Candyland.

Candyland is worked from the bottom up—both in
the round and flat. The split hem is first worked flat,
the sweater is then joined in the round to finish the
lower section. The front and back yokes are then
worked flat and shoulders are joined to finish the
body. Stitches are then picked up around the edge
of the armhole and worked in the round. Lastly,
a plush, fold over collar is worked as you pick up
stitches around the neckline.
