A flexible design that is compatible with any yarn brand you choose.

This cable sweater is worked in super bulky yarn on very large needles to create a dramatic, sculptural fabric with deep ridged cables and a satisfyingly weighty drape. The back and front are worked the same, with straight sides, generous ease and simple drop-shoulder sleeves that are seamed into place for a relaxed, boxy fit. A short rib at the lower edge and cuffs anchors the shape while the wide, shallow neckline keeps the overall look soft and easy to wear over layers. Designed for super bulky (category #6) or light jumbo (category #7) yarns knitted on 10 mm (US 15) and 20 mm (US 36) needles, this is a fast, statement knit that showcases bold cables without complicated shaping. Suitable for confident beginners who are ready to work from a cable panel and enjoy a quick, high-impact project in six graded sizes from 76–102 cm (30–40 in) bust.
