This sweater is worked using the Cocoknits Method, a commonsense system for knitting seamless, tailored sweaters from the top down. The Cocoknits Method is explained in detail in Cocoknits Sweater Workshop by Julie Weisenberger.
All of the page numbers in this pattern refer to the pages in Cocoknits Sweater Workshop, where the techniques are explained in detail.
Who doesn’t love a textural cable knit for casual coffee dates and weekend hangouts? This one is knit seamless, including the ribbed collar. Optional pockets are lined with fabric to reduce bulk, but you could line them with knitting if you prefer. The ribbed sleeve keeps the silhouette slim.
