“THIS DESIGN makes use of an PANEL PATTERN Row 1 (RS): Knit.

interesting Japanese stitch pattern,”
explains Kath Andrews. “The
pattern is used to create a decorative
border at the bottom of the body
and sleeves, and is also used for the
picked-up neckband. An elongated
development of the stitch pattern
creates a vertical panel up the centre
back. The ‘Two Wrap Knot’ creates
a mock cable/smocked effect which
is reminiscent of the stone niches on
the front of Lichfield cathedral, from
where this cardigan gets its name.”
