My daughter wanted a big loose textured cardigan with cables. And it had to be blue! She picked up the stitch pattern in a German magazine. Other than that, the design is mine. It is fun to knit this stitch. I think I would do something like this for myself but in a different colour. In pictures below, Kaidi is modelling (thank you) because this kind of blue is much more her colour than mine.
