The Pattern is completly revised in february 21

DESCRIPTION
This cute and stylish sweater is one of our all-time favourites. It’s a simple crewneck sweater with cables running down the front and down lower sleeve parts. My girls named the sweater ELSA because of this front cable, which is looking like FROZENs Elsas braided plait.
The samples are worked in a worsted weight cotton (but you can use wooly yarn as well), it’s knitted topdown and seamless. Neckline and longer back are shaped with short rows; increases are worked along the raglanseams. The stiches for the neckband are picked up and worked at the end.
