Pattern notes:

This unusual poncho-style sweater is worked in the round from the top down, starting with a ribbed collar. Simple, braided cables and moss stitch in worsted weight yarn make this a fun and interesting knit. Increases are incorporated into the stitch pattern. Instructions are written and charted. The fabric is stretchy and cosy!
