Cabelette Tee is a true cable lover knitting project with raglan sleeves. Cable pattern repeats in front, back and both sleeves, and on the sides of the cable pattern there are purl stitches. The pattern for the raglan increases is fully charted.

Cabelette Tee is knitted seamlessly top-down starting at the neckline. At the underarm body and sleeves are separated. The neckband is picked up from the body and knitted in the round.

The sample is knitted combining fingering weight yarn with lace weight mohair yarn and using slightly different colour shades which gives the t-shirt a vibrant look. However, yarn can be substituted with one strand of DK weight yarn, for example Drops Belle, which is an excellent choice for summer knits.
