This sweater is worked all in one piece to the armholes which helps to make the cables flow smoothly and hug your body without adding bulk. The sleeves at done by casting on at the beginning of 6 rows. Works up easily on US 9 needle. We used Jade Sapphire’s 8 ply Cashmere but we welcome you to use any yarn in the correct gauge in your budget. Gauge is approximately 17 stitches to 4” in stockinet. Many of designs are in cashmere but please don’t be intimidated, it just happens to be Jennifer’s favorite fiber but she (and we) love merino, silks, Tencel and many others too! Uses 1200, 1500, 1800 yards of yarn in the correct gauge.
