Digital Knitting Pattern of the Cable Sweater. The pattern comes in sizes XS/S, M/L and XL/2XL and includes all the sizes in the pattern. All measurements are written in both cm and inches so you won’t have to convert them.

The Cable Sweater is the perfect wardrobe staple for the wintertime. It’s knit from the bottom up and is knit in the round. The sleeves are knit separetly and is sewn in at the end of the pattern. The pattern includes both photos and explanations to make it easier to understand.
