An easy to work and memorize cable pattern, with double garter welts at the shoulder so there is no shaping in the cables.

Construction:

Knit in one piece from the bottom up until split for armholes. Short row shoulders are joined with 3 needle bind off. Sleeves picked up and worked down, in the round. Neck added last and worked in doubled yarn for a hefty feel.
