"After having discovered that its awfully difficult to find unusual, fun, personal, exciting and "yummy" sweater patterns for men, I designed a few myself. Most of the models that I design are for men and knitted in Icelandic wool but that doesnt mean that they wont fit women or children.
This tasteful and elegant sweater has a cable knitted pattern in which the cables are in relief - like a net - above the coloured fields.
The background is purled, while the areas in deviating colours are knitted. The net itself is in the same colour as the background. The designer calls the technique of mixing cable knitting and colours as "frame-work-knitting".
