Crosswater is a boxy, short sleeve cardigan, full of texture, and a flattering silhouette! 2x2 rib flows into a simple cable, which then flows into another unique rib stitch on the main body. This is the perfect Spring, Summer, & Fall cardigan!

NOTES: The sweater is worked flat, from the bottom up, starting with 2 x 2 ribbing, followed by a simple cable pattern, then the main stitch pattern. The neckline, and shoulders are shaped using decreases, and Wrap & Turn Short Rows. The shoulders are joined using the 3-Needle Bind Off, and the sleeves are picked up at the armhole edge. The ribbed neckband is worked from picked up stitches around the neckline, in 2 x 2 ribbing, with buttonholes. To finish, buttons are sewn onto neckband.

Both written and charted instructions are given for the Crosswater Cable Pattern.
