TULIP_LOOP_SWEATER has a loose fit with straight sleeves, detailed with cables and ribbing.

The sweater is worked from top to bottom. First the back piece and the front piece are worked back and forth. Then the two pieces are joined to form the body and are worked in the round. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole and the sleeves are worked in the round as well. To ensure a good fit, short rows are worked at the top of the back piece, shoulders and sleeves. A cable and ribbing pattern are worked on the body and sleeves, and all hems are finished with twisted rib.
