Oh so pretty, cables and lace with a vintage feel! Claret is as delightful to knit as it is to look at. For the sample I used Shibui”s new yarn Haven, which lives up to its name, held together with Silk Cloud, so nice! Come join in the joy of mixing cables and lace!

Notes:
Hold 1 strand of each yarn together throughout pattern. A DK weight yarn may be used in place of the two modeled yarns. This pullover is worked top-down in one piece, using a compound raglan construction for the yoke. This shaping allows for a more flattering fit because the rate of increase varies, thus more accurately following the shape of the body. It increases more rapidly between the neck and shoulders and at the end to curve around the underarm, but more gradually in the section in between.
This garment is designed with negative ease at the bust. If you desire a looser fit work a bigger size. Body length may be adjusted, see notes below.
