Pattern: Trellis by Britta Stolfus Rueschhoff
Yarn: Rowan All Seasons Cotton, 4 x 50g in colour: Pansy #218
Needles: 3.5mm circs
Another cardigan for the pile.
I love this pattern. I’ve knitted it before, and it’s great for a quick cable fix and doesn’t drag on forever. I followed it as written, except for the moss stitch on the sleeves, which I worked as p1, k1 so that it aligned with the moss stitch in the cables.

It’s possibly slightly anal to do that, but it bothered me that the pattern was out of alignment after it matched up so nicely on the back and fronts.
The buttons are ones I bought for the first Trellis I knitted but didn’t use, so it was nice not having to wait for buttons to arrive before I could finish the cardigan. Although I do wonder if something pearly would be more suitable. I may come back to it if I spy something else on my travels.

Not so happy with the yarn, unfortunately. I knitted my first Trellis in the much-lamented Jaeger Matchmaker Merino Aran, which was lovely. For this one, I used All Seasons Cotton as specified in the pattern and which I had just the right amount of in my stash. But it’s not nice to sew up with. It untwists very easily and I think the cables look a bit flat as well now it has been washed, though the colour is gorgeous.

I think like all the baby things I’ve knitted, that it needs a small person wearing it to bring out the best in it.





Its gorgeous, a brilliant pattern, with appropriate adjustments, and beautiful colour. Its on my list, I aready have the wool in the same shade as you and if I was anything like organised I’d have it made already to enter in the knitted baby items for our village show. But then I’m nothing like organised.
It’s fabulous and I love the colour! You’re little person is going to be the best dressed girl in town!
I think it’s fab and the cables look fine to me.. love the colour. :p
Hi!
I’m also knitting the Trellis sweater from the knitty.com pattern and I’m wondering if you can provide some assistance, since you seem to have finished a couple so nicely! Will you contact me if you’re interested in helping me out? I’m having trouble with the instructions for the back. It’s my first time knitting from a chart and for some reason her wording is difficult for me to understand.
Thanks!
