After a day of loving this sweater even more, I’m wondering if anyone is brave enough to write the pattern in children’s sizes?

I started this tunic in charcoal gray Woolease on 12-30 and finished it this weekend. It’s GORGEOUS! Since then I have completed the yoke on the second sweater in Woolease avocado. My only problem is having enough family members to make this for. It’s one of the most beautiful sweaters I have ever made in 50+ years of knitting!! Love It!

[...] Cable Luxe Tunic Knit-Along: Nearing the Finish Line [...]

I have two questions on modifying the pattern. I think I may want to make mine a turtleneck. After the last decrease on the yoke (94 stitches, large size), should I just make the neck longer, or do I need to decrease more stitches before I do that? Also, in one of the early posts, someone mentioned making this pattern as a cardigan. How would I modify the pattern for that? I’m thinking I would eliminate the 12 stitch cable in the front and make it two separate pieces, with the opening where the cable pattern would be. Am I on track, or are there other issues I should address? Thanks for the help!

Heather says: “Hi, Bev – Your questions about modifying this tunic into a cardigan or turtleneck can best be answered by looking back at the comments left at all the previous posts for this KAL. Also, if you go to ravelry.com and search under “cable luxe tunic”, you will see all of those tunics either finished or in progress. Other knitters have modified this tunics and so I would look at their notes on how they did it. Hope this helps you.

Hi Judy,

Yes, you’re right, it should be a P2.

I’m working on the first sleeve, size medium, and on Row 1 there is k2 between the middle 2 slipped stitches. Based on the pictures and the back/front pattern, I would expect that to be p2. Am I right or am I missing something? (it’s the same in all the sizes except for 1X. By the way, I’m having a great time. Before I finished the back, I decided to do the yoke so I’d have a better idea of whether I needed to adjust body and sleeve lengths.

Hi Marie,

Yes, you have that right. So now, you should just continue with each row in the cable pattern.
Therefore, since you’ve done the foundation row and row 1 and 2, you’ll now do row 3 of the 3/3 cable and row 3 of the 4/4 cable, etc. etc. I would keep track on a piece of paper as you go, that way you don’t get confused as to what row you’re on. Don’t forget to do the needed increases on the RS rows (so now you’ll increase at each end on row 3) until you get your required number of stitches. I really hope this helps…good luck!
