NATURALLY K460 CABLED SWEATER KNITTING PATTERN
A classic 4ply sweater with a feature centre cable panel, graded across four chest sizes from 56cm to 71cm.
Pattern overview: The back, front and sleeves are knitted flat and seamed. A 30-stitch centre cable panel is established above the rib, including its shaped base extension, and carried through the body. The neckband is picked up after the shoulders are joined. This is an intermediate project for knitters confident with cables, shaping, picking up stitches and seaming.
