Description from Vogue Knitting: Designer Knits:

Well-defined rope cables carve out this flawless, loose-fitting pullover. A classic Calvin Klein look, with angled armholes and ribbed turtleneck. The Cable Turtleneck first appeared in the Fall ‘89 issue of Vogue Knitting.

The cable chart for checking gauge is an 8-stitch repetition: a 6-stitch right cable followed by two stitches of reverse stockinette. The swatch should be slightly stretched when checking gauge.
