Unique construction that begins with the cabled waistband. Sleeves are knit separately and stitches are picked up along the edge of the cable to attach the sleeves bottom up raglan style. Once the raglan decreases are completed the hood is knit. Then stitches are picked up along the bottom of the cable and it is knit down for the remainder of the body. The button band is picked up and knit last.

Design features a large oversized hood, so hair up or down ears stay warm. Long cuffed sleeves, and long body for 2 years of wear.

Directions for picking up stitches are not included, but stitch counts are. The cable is charted but not written.
