DESCRIPTION

I would love to take all the credit for this design, but I do have to thank my partner for at least part of it.
I love knitting for him, and he is very (very) particular! So when I told him I was going to knit a new sweater for him, he was definitely going to take part in the designing process. I loved the sweater so much, I thought I would make it into a pattern so here it is:
This beautiful all-over cable sweater features a saddle shoulder and a folded collar, complete with a short zipper opening to help achieve this “outdoors” traditional look.
The sweater is worked from bottom-up and sleeves are knitted separately and joined at the underarm.
