Leo's Cabled Sweater
Please email support@emknits.co if you need pattern support. Instagram DMs are difficult to keep track of and I’m often not notified when sent one.
Leo’s Cabled Sweater is a drop shoulder cable sweater featuring large cables, wide ribbing, and a split uneven hem. The sweater has two sleeve options: a tapered sleeve for a streamlined fit and a straight wide sleeve for a more casual look.
Leo’s Cabled Sweater is knit bottom up in the round and the yoke is worked flat. Short rows are used to shape the shoulders and the sleeves are worked top down in the round.
The cream sample is a size 2 with the tapered sleeve option. The blue sample is a size 2 with the wide sleeve option.
