Knitting pattern in German and in English for a cropped sweater with a cable pattern on front part and sleeves in sizes XS | S | M (L | XL | XXL). The shoulders are overlapping, the fit is slightly oversized with a little positive ease of around 10 cm, which makes the sweater incredibly comfortable to wear. Because of the cropped length, the sweater goes perfectly with high waisted trousers and skirts - but dresses are a perfect choice too.

Structure:
The sweater is knitted in four parts: the back part in reverse stockinette stitch, the front part in pattern, the right and left sleeve in pattern too. To shape the shoulders and the round neck, you are going to work in some decreases. Afterwards, you sew together all pieces and attach a 2x2 rib collar to the round neck.
