Pattern Notes

This shirt/sweater is knit flat from the bottom up in two pieces and seamed up at the end. It is a fun, beginner cable pattern that is very forgiving (both in the stitches and in the sizing!) – PSA – it requires no shaping. Knit with super soft Juniper Moon Farm Cumulus, it is a luxurious throw-over-anything sweater, but I bet it would be fun in all kinds of worsted weight yarn (let me know what you try!)

The sleeves are finished with an attached i-cord in Lily & Pine’s Oak Bulky, in the Papaya color for a fun pop! You don’t need to buy extra yarn for the edging if you have something else in your stash that will do, or if you just want to finish it with left over Cumulus.

I’ve provided three sizes, but I have included pattern notes to help you can easily customize to whatever size you want. This sweater is a choose your own adventure! I hope you love it.

Suggested Needles:

• Lily and Pine’s Oak Bulky, in Papaya (or other yarn of your choice of a similar or heavier weight – you can use any leftover Cumulus if you wish, too) – only a few yards required (I recommend checking out your stash for something to use here!)
