The Tinseltown sweater is knit from the bottom-up on 4.5mm needles. To knit this sweater, you should be familiar with techniques such as long-tail or Italian cast-on / bind-off, knitting charted cables, German short rows, decreases (k2tog, ssk), and picking up stitches from a knit edge.

Note that the cable is charted only.
