When I recently moved back to the land of ice scrapers, frozen toes, and snow days, I knew I needed a warm, cuddly, cozy sweater to see me through the winter months.

This seamless sweater is constructed in one piece from the top down. The silhouette is long and easy, but waist shaping ensures a body-flattering fit. Playful round cables snake down the fronts and the back, echoed by small cables on the sleeve cuffs.

Pattern includes cable instructions in both chart and written-out (line-by-line) formats.

FINISHED BUST MEASUREMENT
30.5 (34.25, 37, 41.75 / 45.5, 49.25, 52)“, or 77.5 (87, 94, 106 / 115.5, 125, 132) cm

Shown in size M with no ease.

YARN REQUIREMENTS:
Araucania Toconao (100% merino; 139 yds/127 m per 100g skein); color 512, Cactus Green; 6 (7, 7, 8 / 8, 9, 9) skeins

NOTE: The yardage given on the Toconao labels appears to be incorrect. My skeins were in the 150-170 yd range. If substituting yarn, you will need approximately 1025 (1100, 1200, 1250 / 1300, 1400, 1450) yds / 937 (1005, 1097, 1143 / 1189, 1280, 1326) meters of heavy worsted/Aran weight yarn.

RECOMMENDED NEEDLES:
US #8 (5.0 mm) circular needle, 29” or longer

Set of four or five US #8 (5.0 mm) double-pointed needles

NOTIONS:
Stitch markers (4 of color/type A, 6 of color/type B); cable needle; waste yarn; yarn needle; four 1.5-inch/3.8 cm buttons
