The Challah Sweater is a cabled, circular yoke pullover worked entirely in the round. You cast on at the top, and short rows are used to shape the neckline. Next you’ll do some circular yoke shaping before you work the challah cables (Wendy, of Wendy’s Knotty Knits, designed the cables when I told her about my design idea!). After working the cables the sleeve stitches are set aside while you finish the body. When the body is complete the sleeves are worked in the round from the underarm to the cuff.

Because the Challah Sweater is worked in reverse stockinette, instructions are included for turning your work inside after the cables so that you’re knitting instead of purling!
