Our Ribbed Cable Sweater is a classic sweater featuring an allover patterning with ribbing and cables. Worked seamlessly from the top down with 3 strands of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout, Ribbed Cable Sweater is light, airy and cozy – all at the same time.
You begin with the folded ribbed neckband and continue with shoulder and neck shaping using German short rows and increases. You then work front and back pieces separately back and forth to the underarms. The body is finished in the round with a ribbed edge before you pick up stitches for the sleeves. Sleeves are worked in the round and finished with ribbed cuffs.
