Cables and colorwork, so fun!! This pullover starts with cables, moves into colorwork and then moves back into cables with each evolving from the other. The sample is made with Nua Sport, a wonderfully soft yarn perfectly suited for both colorwork and cables.

Notes:
This sweater is a round yoke, colorwork and cabled pullover. The neckband is worked flat with short-row shaping and at a tighter gauge than the yoke. It may be necessary to go down a needle size to get the correct gauge, otherwise the neckband may flare. The stitches for the yoke are picked up from the neckband and the remainder of the sweater is worked in the round. Once the colorwork yoke is complete, the stitches for body and sleeves are divided. There is no body shaping below the armholes, but waist shaping may easily be added if desired. The sleeve and body length may be adjusted simply by adding or subtracting rounds. The pullover is modeled with slight positive ease, but it can be made with more ease or negative ease. Be sure to swatch the colorwork as well as the plain stockinette; it’s often necessary to change needle sizes to maintain consistent gauge.
