Peninsular

Escape into maritime flight of fancy with this elegant cabled garment. This pattern started out as a vest, but has now been expended with instructions for adding sleeves - enabling you to knit a Peninsular Vest, or a Peninsular Pullover, as preferred. The wave and pearl motif evokes the undulating shoreline 
of Donegal’s Inishowen Peninsula, with a nod to local oyster harvesting traditions. The simplicity of the cables makes this pattern accessible to a wide range of skill levels. In addition, great care has been taken so 
that all shaping takes place in the non-cabled sections of the fabric (there is no 'decreasing in pattern' to keep track of). Details such as overlapping edgings and rope-like borders add a 
special touch to this wistfully nautical design. ..........
