Construction Notes
This cozy cable sweater is knitted in pieces. Sleeves may be worked in the round or flat. A shawl collar, shaped with short rows, is worked separately and is sewn in. Three braided cables are placed on the front and two on the back.
Worked in bulky yarn, it’s a surprisingly quick knit.
