From the description:
Who says boxy sweaters can’t be fun and fashionable?
This sweater is great for a beginner who wants to venture into the world of cables.
Knit cuff to cuff in one piece, it requires only two side seams to be sewn at the end.
The boxiness of the sweater is accentuated with the kimono sleeves and boatneck, while the horizontal cable pattern adds visual interest.
Wear it as is or add a wide belt for a more fitted work without the shaping!
