A lovely cabled neck band and pretty colorwork make for happy knitting! I made the sample with Emma’s Yarn Simply Spectacular DK with Nailed It as the main color, which is one of my all time favorites!

Gauge: 20 sts and 28 rounds = 4”/10 cm in Stockinette Stitch, before blocking.

Notes:
This sweater worked top-down in one piece, using a compound raglan construction for the yoke. This shaping allows for a more flattering fit because the rate of increase varies, thus more accurately following the shape of the body. It increases more rapidly between the neck and shoulders and at the end to curve around the underarm, but more gradually in the section in between.
This garment is designed with slight positive ease. If you desire a looser or tighter fit, work the size that will give the desired fit according to your bust measurement. The body is worked straight with no shaping. If adding shaping, please note that a multiple of 12 stitches is needed for the color work pattern. Be sure to swatch the color work as well as the plain stockinette; it’s often necessary to change needle sizes to maintain consistent gauge. The CC yarn is a fingering weight and Mohair lace weight held together; a DK weight may be used instead.
