A flexible design that is compatible with any yarn brand you choose.
A neat raglan sweater with integrated cap sleeves and a bold all-over cable panel. Worked flat with a ribbed start, flowing into rhythmic rope cables that travel across the body, it finishes with a simple picked-up neck edging for a clean silhouette. Written for standard Double Knitting (DK/8-ply) at 22 stitches × 30 rows on 4 mm needles, this is a satisfying, medium-weight knit with crisp texture and easy wearing depth. Style it over a shirt or tee; the cap sleeve keeps the shoulder line sharp while the cables add structure and warmth.
