Autumn Breeze Sweater
The oversize all over cable pullover features a high roll neck, split hem with a slightly longer back hemline, and some minimal armhole shaping to prevent excess fabric under the arms, for a truly comfortable fit. With cable patterns worked on a reverse stocking stitch background, Autumn Breeze is worked in pieces from the hem and cuffs up and seamed after completion. The neckband is picked up and worked in the round. The stitch patterns can all be worked from charts or from written instructions to suit your preference.
