CONSTRUCTION
This sweater features an all-over cabled net pattern. The cables have different colours to the background and are worked in intarsia. The knit is worked from the bottom up, in the round until armholes. Then, the piece is divided into front and back and knitted back and forth separately, continuing the cable pattern. The sweater has a cropped boxy look with almost no shaping, to really let the pattern shine. The only shaping is worked at the neckline. After the back and front are completed, the shoulders are sewn together and the neckline is knitted in 1 x 1 rib. The sleeves are knitted from bottom up in the round without any shaping and are then sewn into the armholes.
