This cozy sweater is a great knit for the depths of winter. Its generous sleeves are knit cuff to cuff in a cabled rib pattern that drapes nicely over the shoulders and across the fingers. The wide boat neck slides easily over the head and sits without binding. The body is roomy and has enough length to make you want to just curl up in it – with a book or a loved one. Cabling without a cable needle was never so fast and easy – or with such flattering results!

The sleeves on this sweater are deliberately longer than usual. If you wish to have shorter sleeves, decrease the distance between increase rows from 3 rows to 1 rows, and adjust remaining overall length in the space before and after the body markers.
