That pattern went through SO many iterations, but I’m glad you’re still using it! Check out the Bond Buzz where you can find a whole lot of Bond patterns.

Just has to say that discovering your name here made me grin!

Surely you must be the same Cari Clements who wrote that great all-purpose sweater pattern that came with my Bond knitting machine 21 years ago? :) I’m STILL using that pattern, on the next generation of family members!

Thanks from your fan! Ellen

I found an OLD pattern for a gansey sweater that calls for light weight yarn rather than sport weight yarn, and I will knit a swatch and see how it holds and drapes if knit using one strand only. If that fails, I will go with the pattern that calls for heavier yarn, and will double the strand. Thank you. Lois

He likes gansey type patterns made with a worsted weight yarn or heavier… suggestions for a pattern? Would the yarn droop too much in such a sweater? Could I double the stands? He even went so far as to choose a color: Stormy Blue. I bought it, and knit a swatch with one strand in a cable…. gorgeous and luxurious.

Is that correct?? I hope you can help..

Becky

For every increased st (yo), you’ll have a decreased st (ssk), so they equal each other out. Hope that helps.
