With squishy cables throughout, this statement pullover is gloriously cozy. This blousy dolman-shaped sweater is worked sideways across the first sleeve, then the armhole section, followed by the second sleeve. Stitches are picked up and knit to be worked top-down for the body, making body length adjustments easy. Luscious cables twisting every which way provide contrasting textural drape. You’ll want to wear it with your soft pants just as often as you dress it up. No matter how deep your color choice is, these cables will pop. See the many colors of Tempest here.

Skills Needed - This pattern is suitable for experienced
knitters comfortable with tracking multiple stitch patterns, increasing in pattern, reading their work and picking up stitches. Cabled Pattern is written and easy to memorize. Extensive details are provided to help you incorporate new stitches into the cable pattern.
