82278 Turtleneck Guernsey
WEB EXCLUSIVE

Handsome, undifficult, more sober than many guernsey styles, this one would look equally well on men. Khouri allows for cable pull-in by increasing evenly across the row before the cables start, but interestingly does not do corresponding decreases where they end. This actually has a good outcome, since the diagonal rib has its own pull-in, and you generally need more fullness in the garment at that chest point anyway. The same good judgment provides decently cut-in armholes, medium sleeve caps, and the modest texture mix so calmly presented here.
