Aldeburgh Sweater is a classic raglan featuring delicate cables, resulting in a simple elegant design and an elevated basic sweater.

First the neck edge is worked and folded over; then the yoke is worked with short rows to create shape to the neck. The remainder of the yoke is worked in the round with raglan increases. The sweater is then divided for the body and sleeves, and new stitches are cast on for the underarms. The body and sleeves are finished separately and worked in the round. The raglan, side body, and towards the hem of both the body and sleeves feature single stitch cables that do not require a cable needle to work.
