Modifications to the original pattern (you can see its photo on the last picture):

• Used one color.
• Made longer.
• Started with # of sts for the biggest size and gradually decreased in every 25 row to the smallest size.
• For sleeves -picked up sts for the smallest size and changed the cable pattern a little bit.

I call it Patriot because I was watching the show
while making it and the main character, played by Michael Dorman, had a sweater very much like this one.
