Knitting: Pullover
This sweater is a lot of fun to knit! It begins by knitting the cable panel sideways, then joining the two ends together to make a ring. The lower and upper bodies are picked up and knit from either side of the cable panel. There’s a little waist shaping for a flattering fit, and once the cable band is joined, it’s completely seamless!

An all-over lace sweater can be a beautiful work of art, but it doesn’t have to be difficult.

The 18-stitch repeat of the pattern is maintained when casting on stitches for the sleeves, so you won’t have to do any chart-stitch counting or...
Knitting: Pullover
The Cascading Yoke pattern was inspired by meandering rivers and the myriad little waterfalls and streams that branch off of them. My favorite aspect of this sweater is the transition between the yoke pattern and the ribbing—how the smaller branches of the river break off into smaller, more calm ribs (streams).
Knitting: Pullover
The Sleeves and Body of this pullover are worked separately from the bottom up to the underarm where they are joined and worked together for the Yoke. The Yoke is decreased along 4 raglan lines from the underarm to the neck. Stitches for the neckband are picked up and the underarm stitches are joined using a three-needle bind-off to finish.
