The cable sweater you’ve been waiting for. With the option to make wide or fitted sleeves and its oversized fit, this is an instant heirloom. Constructed flat and in the round, it’s the perfect way to
up your cable game.

(if you do the wider version of sleeves, budget an extra skein of yarn)

  • 6.5 mm circular needles, 24”-36” cord - 6.5 mm circular needles, 24”-36” cord (you can use this as the cable needle)

This pattern is suitable for beginners and cable-beginners! You should be familiar with stockinette stitch! This pattern uses the following techniques: picking up stitches, reading charts, cabling, decreases, three needle bind off, and knitting in the round. I’ll be posting tutorials on my instagram!
