Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, 100% wool
• Knitting Needles: US 15 (10 mm) knitting needles
• Gauge: 8 stitches and 12 rows = 4 inches in stockinette stitch

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 60 stitches using the long-tail cast-on method. Ensure your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your ribbing.
2. Ribbing: Work in 1x1 ribbing (k1, p1) for 4 inches. This will create a stretchy and comfortable hem for your sweater.
3. Cable Pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): *K4, p2; repeat from * to end.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): *P4, k2; repeat from * to end.
   • Row 3: *C4F (cable 4 front), p2, C4B (cable 4 back), p2; repeat from * to end.
   • Row 4: Repeat Row 2.
4. Continue Pattern: Keep working in the established cable pattern until the piece measures 24 inches from the cast-on edge. Make sure to check your measurements to ensure the right fit.
5. Shape Shoulders: Bind off 10 stitches at the beginning of the next 4 rows. This will create a gentle slope for the shoulders.
6. Bind Off: After shaping the shoulders, bind off the remaining stitches. This will complete the body of your sweater.
7. Sew Shoulder Seams: Use a tapestry needle to sew the shoulder seams together, ensuring a secure and neat finish.
8. Neckline: Pick up and knit stitches around the neckline. Work in 1x1 ribbing for 2 inches, then bind off loosely to maintain elasticity.
9. Armholes: Pick up and knit stitches along the armhole edges. Work in 1x1 ribbing for 2 inches and bind off loosely, similar to the neckline.
10. Finishing Touches: Weave in all loose ends using a tapestry needle. Finally, block your sweater to the specified measurements to enhance the texture and shape.
