The Cadence sweater is inspired by the rhythmic grids of modernist architecture, where repetition shapes structure and balance. A boxy V-neck silhouette with European shoulders is paired with cables, ribbing and a Latvian braid, introducing subtle variations in rhythm and a quiet, tactile sense of harmony.

NOTES
This sweater is worked from the top down, beginning with the back, and worked mostly in a cable stitch pattern. The shoulders are shaped using a European shoulder construction, after which stitches are picked up along the shoulders to work the front panels, each starting with a Latvian Braid. The front is shaped with a V-neck and worked flat before being joined to the back to continue the body in the round. The body is then worked straight to the desired length. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armholes and worked in the round down to 2 x 2 Rib cuffs. The neckline is finished with Latvian Braid and 2 x 2 Rib.
