Construction
The sweater is knit from the bottom up in the round using a simple cabled raglan shaping. The sleeves are worked first, then the body and yoke. The neck band is picked up and knit last. Short rows are added to the neck and back to lengthen the sweater and give it a more tailored fit. This pattern can easily be adapted to fit any length body or sleeve.
Cable work uses chart and written instructions.
