My favourite thing in the world is a cable knit sweater, and so I couldn’t resist making one. This model is on the one hand a little wide, so has a oversized feel to it, but slightly cropped and triangular in shape, so it still gives a waist and looks great paired with some high waisted jeans or skirts.

The knitting pattern is a written version, but there are a lot of charts to help out. Written instructions are in English.
