Tasty and toasty: Macaron will keep you warm on cooler days. Easy to wear, a fast knit due to the large needle size, and an interesting one with the cable details running along the back, the sleeves and the pockets. Use the same color throughout for a more classic appearance or work the bands or even the cable pattern on the back in a contrasting color for more interest.
