The Cherrystone sweater is one of the seven patterns from the Yarn Play collection – a collaboration with Malabrigo Yarns – by Katya Frankel.

Cherrystone sweater is a seamless design worked in the round to the armholes. Cable twists are worked on both the front and back of the sweater which adds interest to the stocking stitch. The twisted cables are echoed in the raglan shaping with armhole lines following the outline of double diamonds. This sweater is both cute and cosy making it an irresistible autumn must-knit.

The pattern is knitted in Malabrigo Twist, a soft yarn which knits up fast at 16 stitches over 4 inches.
