This pattern is now updated with 2 sleeve lengths and 2 scoop-neck depths, for your knitting flexibility. Sample shown in pattern file (top photos on this page) is worn with zero ease at bust - i.e. bust measures same circumference as garment at bust. Zero or negative ease is recommended for modern style, no more than 2 inches positive ease if looser comfort is desired. A close fit shows off all of your fantastic cabled work!

Have you ever wanted to knit a sweater that will instantly “wow” the crowd? That will make you feel just a little bit regal, like the fantastically skilled knitter you are? The Royale pullover is here for you. Featuring twisted-stitch cable motifs, this is a complex but satisfying knit that will build your skills as well as your wardrobe. These many cabled twists will speed along if worked without a cable needle as per instructions included in the pattern notes. Knitted in your preferred worsted weight or DK, this will be a welcome part of your wardrobe for many seasons to come.
