I like cabled sweater very much! So I love winter because I can knit or wear so many cabled sweaters. But it seems that they disappear in spring and summer, and I cannot see them in town. Where they go?
So, this time I knit the pullover I can wear in early summer. I used summer yarn and cable patterns are all my favorite.

This pullover is bottom-up, knit-in-round. Using short-rows so that back is worked longer, incorporating cable patterns little by little.
The shape of each back neck and front neck is V-shaped and sleeves are short, so you can wear it and enjoy early summer time!

This pattern includes both English and Japanese.
