Long twisting cables give this pullover sweater easy sophistication. The loose gauge and soft merino yarn create a sweater with enough drape for a flattering fit.

The smooth and stretchy extended single crochet background allows the cabled section to remain perfectly vertical while working in the round. Increases on the front yoke of the sweater are made next to the cables to make them less noticeable; this will create a bit of fullness on either side of the cable near the bust, which will disappear when the sweater is blocked.
