This is such a fun knit with a dramatic dropped stitch to outline the beautiful cable pattern! The cover up is worked bottom up. The body section is worked in the round and the front top section is worked flat. The cable pattern continues up to make up the straps. This is also a great pattern if you have some scrap yarn and want to use it up as you can easily modify the width of each stripe.
