Aberdeen Cabled Pullover #198

I love cables! I love figuring out which cables play well together, and I'm really pleased with how Aberdeen turned out. The sweater is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then sewn together. The center cable is from Norah Gaughan's "Knitted Cable Sourcebook" and looks more complicated than it is. The stitch patterns are presented in both written and charted formats, but for working the sleeves, the patterns are combined into one chart, and you will need to refer to the sleeve chart to determine where to begin and end the sleeve for your size.
