Cozy up in this modern take on a classic cable sweater. A relaxed, drop shoulder silhouette paired with intricate cables and texture create a sweater that is comfortable and timeless.

This sweater is worked in the round from the bottom, up. You will separate to work the front and back pieces and join again at the shoulders using a three needle bind off. The sleeves and neckband will be worked by picking up stitches and knitting in the round.
Portions of this sweater are worked using cable stitch charts. Some experience working cable charts is helpful.
