Crazy About Cables

This drop-shoulder oversized boxy pullover features a variety of cables and stitch combinations, a sideways construction and ribbed sleeves. The front and back panels are worked flat as two separate pieces that are seamed at the shoulders and sides. As you work the panels, on the right side you will have the shoulders and neck and to the left the double garter hem. The sleeve stitches are picked up after sewing the shoulders and sides together, and they are worked on small circular needles (30cm) or double pointed needles.
