With all the gorgeous textures and stitches filling the pattern books on my shelves, it’s still those classics, Stockinette and Garter, that I come back to time and again. Amande is my attempt to use these old friends of mine to create a garment with interesting lines and a unique shape. And because there aren’t any fancy stitches to keep track of, there are some fun techniques in there to keep you on your toes: i-cord bind offs, applied i-cord worked as you go, short rows, various cast-ons, pockets, and a big, chunky cable up the back.
