This is a bottom-up sweater featuring simple cable details. The sleeves, front, and back pieces are worked separately and then seamed together. Unlike a top-down construction, which requires little finishing, this method involves careful joining—but it allows you to experience the distinctive shoulder lines and structure unique to the bottom-up style. The pattern includes both XS and M sizes, and due to its construction, other size adjustments are not possible. Recommended for knitters who can distinguish between the right and wrong sides of the work.
