16 sts in Cable pattern = 2” on smaller needles

NOTES
Vest is worked flat in pieces and seamed. Cable pattern may be worked from text or chart. It helps to knit the tuck stitch a bit looser than the cable pattern. It may also be necessary to re-block the sweater after it is assembled. Choose the size with 4–6” of positive ease.
