Description
Acorn Trail is my go-to cardi for sweater weather. Cables, a gorgeous tweedy wool, a little bit of openwork to keep things from being too heavy – they all make Acorn Trail a great layering piece. (Or a knockout on its own.)
Acorn Trail is worked in pieces, from the bottom up, in Harrisville’s Highland yarn. Highland is a sturdy, wool-lover’s wool, with a truly stunning color palette, and the cardigan makes the most of its texture in intricate cable and lace panels. (Despite the detailed look, the sweater is easy to modify since the stitch patterning rests on a simple Stockinette base.)
I can’t recommend this luscious tweedy yarn highly enough, but if you’d like to substitute you’ll need approximately 703 (783, 851, 905, 975, 1041, 1125, 1215, 1353, 1463) yds / 643 (717, 778, 828, 892, 952, 1029, 1112, 1238, 1339) m.
