This sweater brings together three of my favorite things - vanishing cables, oversized fit and a lightweight fabric. Combining those three elements makes a cool and modern garment with an eyecatching detail.

The cable pattern is contiguous, beginning from shoulder, continuing on the sleeve and then vanishing. The sweater is worked seamlessly from top down, upper body back and forth and rest of the sweater in the round. Cables have both charts and written instructions. The pattern also includes a construction schematic.
