Pattern description from Knit Simple, Fall 2006: “An easy cable pattern on a seed-stitch background knits up quickly. Adding to the boyish charm are square armholes and ribbed edges.”

Knit Tip: “Because this project really moves, it’s an ideal way to test a bunch of different cable needles: Do you prefer a straight hook, or one with a kinked middle? Plastic or metal?”

Notions: Cable needle, stitch holders and stitch marker
