NOAH SWEATER

Noah is a dropped shoulder, seamless and top-down sweater with a beautiful wide cable at the front and back. The cable forms a perfect wickerwork, and makes for a very interesting texture. The cable pattern is charted, but is easy to memorize and consists of an 8-round repetition only.

The back is worked first, than stitches for the front panels are picked up from the cast on seam. The sleeves are included in the yoke, which is worked circular from the closing of the neckline on.

The neckline is not tight, since I personally like this better this myself. If you prefer a higher neckline, instructions are added to modify this part and make the neckline higher.
