The Posie Sweater is a soft, cozy, cable-textured sweater worked seamlessly from the top down. Designed with a balance of structure and comfort, it features delicate cables and textured stitches for a warm, feminine look.

The sweater is constructed beginning with the back yoke, shaped using German short rows. Stitches are then picked up for the shoulders and joined to form the front. The body is worked in the round, followed by sleeves worked in the round. The neckline is finished with a folded ribbed edge.
