Designer Notes:

  • Cabled fabric is flexible and the garment is designed to be worn over other garments - choose size accordingly.

  • There is an edge stitch each side on all pieces, including armhole, to make seaming easier - keep in St st throughout. It is helpful to place a marker between pattern repeats.

  • Use larger needles for all garment pieces; use smaller needles for bands only. Side seam is slightly toward the Back, not at center of underarm, to maintain the flow of the Cable pattern; first bind off for Front, therefore, is more sts than for Back.
