Sumi Sweater
Beatrice Perron Dahlen
Go sporty or formal in this minimalist yet cleverly constructed design. The contrasting cable panel on the top of the sleeves pops against the allover stockinette stitch. The cables are worked first, and then stitches for the front and back, including the sleeves, are picked up along each side of the cables and worked from the top down.
