Adrienne Thomas

for Perl Grey   2009

Mieka

"A stretchy, seamless, reversible, topsy-turvy cardi knit sideways in one piece," is how Thomas describes this piece. And as usual it would take paragraphs to outline its ingenuity, but you really have to make it to understand its wonder. You make one half from the centre back out, then reactivate the beginning row and knit the second half out from there as well; fortunately this is all done only in garter stitch with yarn overs, so it's challenging in shape, not in stitch.
Gauge given is slightly stretched.
