Bulls & Braids Boxy
The Bulls & Braids Boxy is a boxy style cable pullover. The sweater has lots of positive ease in the body. The sleeves are more fitted, which gives a boxy style sweater a more finished look, and it holds the sweater in place. I also have a Bulls & Braids Hat you may want to try first to practice the cable patterns before diving into the sweater pattern.
Bulls & Braids is worked top down beginning with the neck ribbing. Next you work the 2 shoulders. Stitches are picked up for the back and the front, which are worked separately until the bottom of the armholes. Once you reach the bottom of the armholes, the front and back are joined to work the remainder of the body in the round. Lastly, you pick up stitches for the sleeves which are worked from the body to the cuff in the round.
