Designed by Carolyn Noyes, the X-Cable Turtleneck is a simple raglan design that keeps the focus on a high-relief, double-cross cable worked as an allover pattern on the front only. Slight waist shaping is worked within the stockinette fabric of the back; the sleeves are also stockinette. The turtleneck is entirely ribbing; the same ribbing trims the bottom and sleeve hems. This pullover is worked in separate pieces from the bottom up. The front draws in and is intended to fit with up to 3 in. of negative ease.

The Gauge in X-Cable pattern is 52 sts and 43 rows = 4 in.
