Here is a gorgeous chic sweater I designed in a striped stocking stitch pattern with a Merino yarn.

The sweater is knitted in the round from the bottom up on a circular needle.

The Sleeves are knitted in the round using the magic loop method then they are joined to the body where the yoke is knitted.

The yoke has a lovely mini cable detail design on the raglan shaping (please see photos).

Please note that a cable needle isn’t required to knit the mini cable detail.

The wider neckline I designed for this sweater is very flattering to wear.

It’s a great sweater to be worn in both Winter and Spring.
