If you're passionate about knitting cables, you're in for a treat with this stunning cable-knit cardigan pattern! While I haven't focused heavily on designing with cables in the past—mainly due to the complexity of creating multiple charts for various sizes—this particular sweater truly called out to be crafted. It features a lovely array of textured cable crosses that will make any knitting enthusiast swoon. Inspired by photos of one of my favorite actors, Diego Luna, this cozy cabled pullover showcases his charming smile while he relaxes in elegant style. Although the basic cable patterns might seem familiar, once I got this sweater on the needles, it evolved into something exceptional—a beautiful cardigan, complete with saddle shoulders, ¾ length sleeves, and moderate waist shaping. The unique traveling motif on the back differentiates it from traditional Aran sweaters, giving it a standout quality perfect for any knitting wardrobe. Crafted using Julie Asselin’s Nurtured yarn, this design embodies the essence of autumn with its luxurious squish, structural integrity, and softly heathered hues. This makes it an ideal choice for cozy, seasonal wear. Whether you’re preparing for a Rhinebeck getaway or simply looking to elevate your fall knitwear collection, this sweater is the perfect project to enjoy. Please note that this pattern is charted only, making it an exciting challenge for those who relish working with cables. Dive into this project and bring this delightful design to life!
