Doppler's Cables
Doppler’s Cables is a relaxed and stylish sweater with an interesting (yet easy) constructions and lots of fun cables. The sweater is worked seamlessly, top-down. The sweater has a European shoulder construction with drop sleeves. The cables are easy to memorize and have a fun pattern with wider cables at the centre and getting narrower as you move to the sides. The sleeves are reverse stockinette stitch, but they are worked inside out to avoid purling. The hem is cropped but length can be easily added. The cables have both written and charted instructions.
