Notes

The soft, fluffy clouds I see almost everyday inspired the cable trim on this cardigan. What would it feel like to be wrapped in comfort by those clouds? Turned Cable Cardigan was born. (I originally called it “Kumo” - a word for cloud).

Construction is much simpler than it might appear. The two fronts & back are knit separately, then seamed. Using mattress stitch make the seams pretty invisible.

Then the cable border is added to the entire front and bottom edges. Work the sleeves and cable cuffs - weave in any yarn ends, block, sew on the button & wear.
