~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Caumsett is my favorite kind of sweater – a comfortable classic pullover. Slightly oversized with an offset cable up the front and back, side vents and a cozy turtleneck, it’s a perfect cozy knit for late fall and deep winter.

The cable pattern is both written and charted.
