This pattern was available for a while on Knitting Daily for free. Web-exclusive pattern from Interweave Knits, Winter 1999/2000.

Long sleeved saddle shoulder cabled pullover in two sizes: 47 1/4”/121.5 cm and 51”/129.5 cm. The yarn used in the original project is discontinued. Possible yarn substitutions include: Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca/Silk, Filatura di Crosa’s Elen Cashmere, Knit Picks Ambrosia, and Elann’s Peruvian Baby Cashmere (a cashmere/merino/alpaca blend.)

Gauge Notes:
Gauge is stated as “26 sts and 30 rows = 4” over stockinette, 27 sts and 30 rows = 4” over pattern”. The pattern is a subtle rib, and does pull in; a gauge of 22 stitches per four inches in stockinette is what works.

An apparent error in stitch counts:

Front should read “work as for back until 111 (not 109) sts remain”.
