North Sea Sweater is a classic sweater with cables on the front. It is worked in the round from the top down using 1 strand of Heavy Merino. You start shaping the neckline with short rows, continue with the yoke and raglan increases while working the charted cables on the front at the same time. Sleeves are worked in the round in stockinette stitch. Ribbed edges finish the neckline, body and sleeves. The charts are easy to follow and an introduction to working from charts is included in the pattern. North Sea Sweater has a sister pattern in North Sea Dress.
