A simple cardigan with a wide cable especially nice to layer on during changing weather. There is enough ease to wear over clothing but it is also thin enough to fit under jackets.

This cardigan knitted flat and sideways in one piece. Short rows shape the yoke and cap sleeves. There is no seaming and the optional pockets are set in. To ensure a good fit, the pattern includes optional bust for cups C through H.
