Fog Cutter is a striking but simple sweater that’s just perfect for a foggy day at the beach or a cool summer night. Fog Cutter is versatile, flattering, and easy to throw on.

It features a beautiful combination of cables, lace, and texture in a panel that undulates like waves over small stones. A split hem, ribbed neckline detail, and boldly seamed shoulders also add to the interest on this design, and reverse stockinette on sleeves and back keep the focus on the beautifully textured front panel - and those shoulders.

My friend Gabriella is wearing the sweater high on the hip with 5”/12.75cm of positive ease for a nice, easy fit, but altering this design for fit is easy and instructions are included in the pattern.

The sweater is knit in 4 pieces from the bottom up and seamed together at shoulders, along sides, and under each sleeve. Neckline is shaped with short rows.

A light worsted weight yarn in a wool and cotton blend is perfect for this breezy knit. Stitch definition is important, and a consistent strand will show off the pattern best.
