The Is It True Sweater. Decadent lace mixed with a touch of cables; it’s the perfect sweater for the spring. Your friends will be amazed when you tell them you knit it yourself.

- 6 (7) 7 (8) 8 (8) 9 (9) 10 skeins of 100g/100m

• 8 mm circular needles, 24”-36” cord
• 6 mm circular needles, 24”-36” cord (you can use this as the cable needle)
• Cable needle (I actually use a circular needle of smaller size since stitches don’t fall off as easily
