Instructions Overview
Body
Back and Front: The sweater is worked flat from the bottom up with garter stitch borders, followed by an intricate arch cable pattern across the front and back. The shoulder shaping is created by casting off in stages.
Neckline: A wide garter stitch collar is picked up along the neckline, giving a cozy finish.
Sleeves
Cuff: The sleeves start with garter stitch cuffs, transitioning into stocking stitch with increases along the length.
Shaping: The sleeve cap is formed with gradual decreases for a smooth fit.
Stitch Patterns
Garter Stitch: Knit every row.
Stocking Stitch: Knit one row, purl one row.
Cable Pattern: Includes left and right twists to create the arch cable effect.
Finishing
Seams: Sew shoulder, side, and sleeve seams using mattress stitch.
Blocking: Lightly block pieces to ensure even stitches and proper shaping.
Collar: Knit in garter stitch, giving a warm, structured neckline.
