About

Everyone deserves to have a classic cabled sweater in their wardrobe.

This piece is covered in cables and braided details, so not only is it gorgeous to look at, but also you as the maker will feel a sense of accomplishment when it’s all done! The pattern uses sport weight yarn and has the drape and feel of a knit sweater as well. Add the double-folded ribbing at the neckline and sleeve cuffs for maximum coziness.
