Midnight Sea Sweater is an elegant yet simple pullover sweater knit from the top down in the round with raglan sleeves. It is seamless, comes in 6 size options, and features a cable motif on the majority of the sweater with a smaller version on the sleeves. I named it after the colorway I picked to make this sweater and think that the cables are reminiscent of ocean waves in the depth of night – subtle yet beautiful at the same time.
Charted instructions for the cable pattern – one each for the body and sleeves (which is an adaptation of a stitch found in Vogue Stitchionary Volume 2, ed. by Carla Scott) – are included on a separate page for each size option. I hope you will find this sweater to be cheerful addition to your wardrobe. Happy Knitting!
