Sēji is a modified drop shoulder pullover, knitted top down starting with the shoulders which are shaped with short rows, the front and back are knitted separately flat until the underarm where stitches are casted on and everything is joined in the round, the body is knitted straight with no shaping for a relaxed fit, and it ends with a long twisted rib hem. The sleeves are then picked up and knitted in allover cables, straight with no shaping so you don’t have to fuss around with decreases, the cable motif consists of simple cables which are very intuitive and easily memorized

The cable motif is both charted and written
