Scarlet
Materials:
12(13:14) 100g balls of Cleo
Pair of 6mm (US10) knitting needles
Cable needle
Open ended zip to fit
The sleeves will look better if you try to work the cable all the way to the edge of the sleeves, even when there are not enough stitches to work a full cable. I also recommend that you cast on 2 extra stitches to allow for a selvage edge. I found that the sleeves were very stiff and tight after seaming; extra stitches may cure this.
I’m not sure what a “open ended zip to fit” is, and the pattern never calls for a zipper so…
In my opinion the sweater is beautiful! The yarn is very vibrant and colorful, but they don’t belong together. this yarn is no longer carried by my local yarn store do to the short yardage and high price point. Cleo is very “splitty” and extremely heavy so if i were to knit this sweater again, i would personally use wool.
