This pullover was designed to be a cushy, cold-weather staple, appropriate in many settings thanks to its two-tone intrigue and classy lattice-cable motif. The Sonneteer Sweater, which features saddle shoulder construction, is worked flat in four pieces to accommodate the garter stitch background. The slip-stitch cables create interest but maintain simplicity in this gender-inclusive garment.

• This pullover is worked back and forth in pieces from the bottom up and seamed. The sleeve cable continues into the saddle shoulder.

• The color changes shown in the charts extend into the garter stitch sections on each side of the chart. Change color at the beginning of every RS row. Do not break the yarn at color changes. Carry the unused color up the side of the piece until it is needed again. Bring the new color under the color just used.
