DESIGN INFORMATION
Ojete is the Spanish word for “eyelet” and this cardigan is an homage to the visual impact that a tiny little yarn over can have. A basic v-neck cardigan is elevated by the addition of a stripe & eyelet pattern. Take the opportunity to play with different color options to ensure that it remains a staple piece in your wardrobe.

Please share the colors you choose with #ojetekkd

CONSTRUCTION INFORMATION
Ojete is worked in pieces from the bottom up and seamed together after blocking. The fronts and back start with 1x1 ribbing that transitions into the Stripe & Eyelet stitch pattern, ending with easy stockinette stitch in the main color.

The set-in sleeves are worked from the cuff to the upper arm, and feature a smaller repeat of the Stripe & Eyelet pattern. Stitches are increased from the cuff to the upper arm for a slim & flattering fit.

After the pieces are blocked and seamed, the button band is worked in 1x1 rib and bound off with the contrast color for a special accent.
