We have a cabled sweater for you this week.
Our lovely sweater features a cable pattern which provides texture and interest.
It comes in five sizes ranging from 81/86 cm (32/34 ins) to 122/127 cm (48/50 ins). Actual size is approx. 18/13 cm (7/5 ins) bigger, giving a comfortable fit with plenty of room to wear a layer underneath.
The sweater is worked in Rico Design Creative Soft Wool Aran. This yarn blends 25% virgin wool and 75% luxury acrylic to create softness. It is also machine washable.
We have used the shade Plum (031) but there are plenty of other colours to choose from if you prefer something else.

Difficulty Level
We have graded this as an intermediate design. The pattern is worked over 22 stitches and 16 rows and features a selection of cable stitches so you will need a cable needle, too.
If you are uncertain, it is a good idea to practise working the cable panel before you begin the sweater.
This is a timeless design, popular with all ages. We hope it has you reaching for your knitting needles soon.
