The Kamari sweater features a comfortable drop-shoulder fit and allover cable pattern that’s easily memorizable. It’s inspired by the beautiful black-sand Kamari beach in Santorini, Greece.

The body is knit from the bottom up in the round and is separated for the armholes. Shoulders are joined using a kitchener invisible join. Sleeves are picked up and knit from the armholes. A folded collar is picked up and knit in the round.

Note that the cable pattern is charted only.
