Th is sweater was modeled after traditional men’s ganseys, which have stockinette-stitch bodies and a mix of cabled patterns at the shoulders. To add feminine versatility, this version is a cardigan. Knitted in one piece from the bottom up, it’s quick to knit and has minimal fi nishing. The yarn shows off the cables beautifully!
