The Terra sweater is worked top-down, starting by working the back and the fronts flat before joining under the arms to work in the round. The straight sleeves are then worked by picking up stitches from the armhole and working down to whatever length you prefer. Lastly, the cosy neckband is picked up and worked in 1x1 ribbing.

The cable pattern is charted.
