Cabled Sweater with Split Lower Back

This gorgeous sweater is all about style accent with its pretty split level lower back. The background stitch is reverse stocking stitch with simple wide rib and twist stitch incorporated, which will flatter anyone's figure. There is no shaping to work in the body as this is acheived from the ribbing and the split itself. The cable stitch, worked over just six stitches, is straightword even for someone new to cables.
