Tracks in the Snow Not Yet Available

COMING SOON!  This pattern will be available for purchase on March 20, 2026

Tracks in the Snow is a cable slipover knit in sport-weight yarn in the round from the bottom up. The cable pattern reminds me of cross country skiing when you have to climb a hill on the trail. 

The center cable pattern is derived from the Chevron Share Tight pattern in the book Knitted Cable Sourcebook by Norah Gaughan. The main cable becomes larger as the finished sizes become larger. Smaller twisted rope cables flank the main cable. Reverse stockinette stitch is used on the side of the slipover and a knit below stitch is used for a faux side seam and as an accent around the cable patterns. 

Take note of the finished sizes and choose a size that is 3-4 inches/7.5 - 13 centimeters larger than your bust size. 

This pattern uses German Short Rows for the shoulder shaping. Watch the German Short Row Tutorial.
