I love a cable hand knit, they are timeless. This one is a very simple one to knit. I design my cables so they work together which means after a few repeats the knitter can just sit back and get into a rhythm of soothing stitches.
This cardigan is another Purl &Jane Studio request -  I have designed a child’s cable cardigan, Rukin Cable Cardigan and with probably all of my children’s patterns I get requests for an adult size, and this time with pockets!

This pattern is knitted in pieces and bottom up.
