Electra
Luxurious merino, silk, and yak Westfield is a fantastic choice for this elegant cabled pullover. With its allover, highly structured surface texture, long sleeves, split crew neck, and a boxy fit, the lines are modern yet classic. Ribbed sleeves draw the eye to the body’s robust cable stitch pattern. Every knitter needs this forever sweater! The body is knit flat in pieces and then seamed. The sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge and worked down to the cuffs. The cable pattern is charted and written out.
