Fun
seams are the design element. You knit eight rectangles and join them
with a special stitch and brightly colored yarn. Sleeve panels are made
to fit with easy decreases. Knit by hand or machine. Small panels make
this a good carry-along project.

Skill Level: Advanced. The complication in this sweater is
getting your calculations done (may need aspirin!), and getting the
hang of the cable patterns. After that, it is sweet brainless knitting
to the end.
Yarn Suggestion: Best with a fine to medium
weight yarn. Cable sweaters, such as this, are traditionally done in a
light or white color. But mine was really fun in maroon. Will need
approximately 22 to 24 ounces, depending on size.

Knit from the bottom up with an interesting series of cable and texture
patterns. Cables start on saddle shoulder and go down to wrist. Design
gives a nice square fit to the shoulders. I knit mine with a soft cormo
wool that is a delight to knit and wear.
This sweater has a very nice fit. The saddle shoulders are better for shaping than shoulder pads. A very fun sweater to knit.
