A lovely, boxy sweater, with dropped shoulders and a striking cable down the front, flanked with honeycomb cables. The kind of sweater that makes you feel really cosy.
A quick knit with DK held double or a nice bulky yarn. Bottom up, no seams.

Originally knitted in Moeke Yarns Elena, with a double strand, a lovely rustic yarn, I love wearing it.
Test knitters used Blacker Yarns Brushwork (double strand), Drops Eskimo, Cascade Ecological wool and they all love the result.

This sweater is supposed to be oversized, so choose between 4”/10 cm and 10”/25 cm of positive ease.
