Pattern description from Interweave Knits, Winter 2004: “Kathy Zimmerman has used a soft angora-wool yarn to transform the classic cabled sweater into a comfortable garment that’s as perfect with a skirt and earrings as it is with jeans and boots. Kathy chose a simple drop-shoulder shape and a mock turtleneck for uninterrupted cable lines. With the same cable pattern throughout, you’ll soon memorize the chart. If you can work one cable, you can work them all!”

Finished Size: 35.5 (41, 46.5, 52, 57.5)“ (90 104, 118, 132, 146 cm) bust/chest circumference, buttoned

Notions: Cable needle (cn); markers (m); stitch holder; tapestry needle.

Additional Gauge: 26 sts and 26 rows = 4” (10 cm) in staggered twist cable pattern on larger needles, after blocking.

Notes from Interweave Knits, Winter 2004:

• “Work all increases and decreases 1 stitch in from edges. Work all increases as if to purl (M1 pwise; see glossary, page 119).”
• “After working the set-up row once to establish the chart pattern, repeat Rows 1-24 for cable pattern; do not repeat set-up row.”
