The Vegetable Cable Short-Sleeve Bottom-Up Sweater is a classic bottom-up sweater featuring simple cable motifs. Each piece — sleeves, front, and back — is worked separately and then seamed together. Unlike top-down styles that require minimal finishing, bottom-up construction involves more complex seaming. However, it allows you to experience a structured shoulder line and garment shaping that only this method can achieve. The pattern includes sizes XS, M, and L. Due to the nature of the bottom-up construction and the integrated cable pattern, modifying to other sizes is not possible. Recommended for knitters who are comfortable distinguishing between the right and wrong sides of their work.
