Designer Note: Cables are worked every 4 rows. When working sleeve inc, keep inc in purl sts until you have 11 sts, then begin another cable over the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th sts from the edge.

Construction Note: Dec(s) at neckline are worked on the edge. Inc for sleeves are worked using M1 and are worked one or two st(s) in. Because of the tendency to stretch, the sleeve lengths may appear to be short. They are worked intentionally shorter to allow for the growth.
