“I loved the idea of using Loft for this sweater. Traditionally, cables are worked with a heavier weight yarn for a more dramatic and graphic effect. With Loft, the cabled sleeves are kept light and airy without the characteristic bulk of cables.” – Michele Wang

CONSTRUCTION

• Neckband stitches are picked up from seamed garment and worked circularly.
