Classic Cables are always in style and popular, for good reason.
Colin is a handsome cable sweater pattern for boys and comes in 5 sizes, to fit boys from 2 to 12 years.
It is a seamed pattern, worked flat, which has many advantages.
Easier to work on a small section at a time and the finished sweater has more structure and will last a long time.
Perfect for hand me downs and creating heirlooms.
