Serpentine's fun, thoughtful construction will have you entertained every step of the way. Begin by knitting wavy cabled panels for the shoulder, then pick up stitches along their edges and work down the front and back before joining the body in the round and leaving stitches aside to be grafted together to form sleeves. Serpentine's sides are shaped ever-so-slightly to give her a modern twiist and she ends with a fun split hem and twisted cuffs.
