His and Hers simple cable sweater is classic and warm and works up in a jiffy using bulky 100% American grown and processed Merino wool.

Originally I had planned a very, very basic sweater, with only one panel of cables on the front, but decided that I really, really can’t knit that much plain stockinette and stay excited about the design, and so I added a paired down cable panel for the back and some detailing to the top of the sleeves.

Easy cable pattern adds interest but is simple enough for even a novice ‘cabler’ to manage, as there are only 2 cables on the front and one down the center back, (the back on, if you really want, could even be left off).
The sleeve features a neat center pattern that adds visual and knitting interest, and as an added bonus, it also helps in counting the rounds!

Cozy sweater is worked in the round from the bottom up to the arms, where sleeves and body are joined in a compound raglan yoke and worked to the neck. Due to the compound raglan shaping the decreases follow the shape of the body more closely and result in a more flattering fit than classic raglan decreases would allow for. High double crew neck for the Ladies version, wider opening for men to allow for the broader chest/shoulder girth.
