Twigtale by Nadia Crétin-Léchenne

It is worked from top to bottom, in one piece, without any seams. The back and sleeves are in easy stocking stitch, while the front is embellished by a lovely cable pattern that brings all the spirit of autumn with it.

On the yarn side, the ones from De Rerum Natura have always been among my favorites. The mix of Ulysses and Bérénice offers the ideal fabric for a perfect cosy sweater.
