This sweater features a reverse stockinette background with continuous cable details at the back of the neck, on the waistband, and on the sleeves (the cable designs are my own but were inspired heavily by Continuous Cables : An Exploration of Knitted Cabled Knots, Rings, Swirls, and Curlicues by Melissa Leapman) as well as a square neckline and ¾ sleeves. It is knit using the contiguous method as developed by Suzie Meyers (SuzieM here on Ravelry) and is completely seamless. This pattern is intended for knitters who have made sweaters previously and are familiar with charts as not every step is explained in detail.
