The design was created in collaboration with Tanis Fiber Arts.

Sople is a cabled cardigan worked seamlessly from top to bottom. It starts with Provisional Cast-On at back neck. First you shape back, next right front until armhole, then left front in similar way. Finally you join all three parts and work back and forth. The sleeves are top-down. The stitches for the sleeves are picked up around armhole and the sleeve caps are shaped using short rows. Cable patterning and ribbing at the cuffs mimics that of the main body. To finish you make button bands and I-cord neck band.
