CONSTRUCTION
This sweater is knitted from top down with two strands of unspun yarn held together. The easy-to-memorise cable panel runs from neckline to hem on the front. After a few rnds of working the neck opening, the back neck is shaped with a few short rows. The upper body is then shaped with raglan increases. After separating the body and sleeves, the body is knitted straight to the ribbed hem. Sleeves are then worked and shaped with some decreases towards ribbed cuffs. The sweater is finished with an i-cord edging at the neck opening.
