This sweater coat/long cardigan is all about the texture! Simple modern cables march up the fronts and center back while the sides and sleeves feature a wonderfully squishy, easy to work texture pattern. A wide, face-framing collar and generous front bands add warmth and style.

The sweater is constructed from the bottom up, with sleeves worked separately in the round to the underarms and joined with the body to knit the yoke in one piece. Work optional waist shaping (as shown in the sample), or omit if a looser fit is desired.

Cable and texture patterns include both charted and fully written-out directions.
