The cable and rib patterns are easy to memorize, making this sweater a delight to knit. It features the Channel Island Cast On, a definition ridge, diamond-shaped underarm gussets, and saddle shoulders. The sweater begins in the round, is knit back and forth above the gussets and for the saddle shoulders, then is finished in the round with neck and sleeves. There are no seams. There is no difference between the back and front.
