Caffeine Queen is a striking short-sleeve pullover that is fun to knit and impressive to show off! The cable and texture pattern featured in Norah Gaughan’s Cable Sourcebook is reminiscent of coffee beans. The boxy fit and simple drop-shoulder construction make for a sweater that is simple to knit and cozy to wear. Knit up in Fantastic Farm’s Domestic yarn base, a lovely naturally dyed farm yarn, Caffeine Queen is the perfect sweater for coffee lovers!

Construction:
The body of Caffeine Queen is knit from the bottom up in the round. The front and back halves are worked flat. Short rows are worked on the shoulders. Shoulder edges are seamed and the neckline and sleeve edges are picked up and a ribbed edge is knit outwards in the round.
