SIMPLE but not severe; warm but not “thick” to wear, this sleeveless cable
pattern pullover is ideal with suits or slacks. It’s easy to knit, too.

MATERIALS : 5 ounces of Lee’s Leemont Crepe, 3-ply: 1 pair of 3.75 mm knitting needles; 1 set of four 2.75 mm knitting needles with points at both ends ; spare 3.75 mm knitting needle pointed both ends for cabling.

TENSION : 9 sts. to 1 inch in width and 10 rows to 1 inch in depth, measured over the main parts worked on 3.75 mm needles (after pressing).

MEASUREMENTS: After pressing, the garment measures 30 inches round underarms, but owing to the elasticity of the knitting it will fit up to a 34-inch bust size. Length from shoulder to lower edge, 17 3/4 inches.
ABBREVIATIONS : K., knit ; p., purl; st., stitch, sts., stitches; rep., repeat; tog., together, st.-st., stocking-stitch, inc., increase.
