The Classic Cable Polo is an intricate design with cables all over. The pattern is started at the top of the shoulders, with a provisional cast on. It works the yoke first and the body top-down. The sleeves are seperately worked in the round, with decreases towards the top of the shoulder. These are later sewn on.

This cabled stitch-repeat is very stretchy. This means the pattern can have up to 30 centimetres of negative ease. At 30 centimetres negative ease it is stretched at its maximum. You can use the size chart to choose your prefered size.
