The Nakts Tunisian Sweater pattern can now be purchased as a single pattern (November, 2024). Please note that this pattern is not eligible for discounts.

Classic crochet cables get a contemporary upgrade in the Nakts Tunisian sweater. The design is beguilingly simple, but upon closer inspection, the ribbing sections and asymmetrical cables reveal themselves for an added layer of interest. The straight boat neck is mirrored in the front and back ribbing, and the deeply, gorgeously textured cables will have you asking the age-old question—is this really crochet?
