Happy Together

Introducing a beautifully designed and cozy cabled sweater, expertly crafted to be worked seamlessly from the top down. This charming sweater starts with the upper body, which is knit back and forth until the neckline shaping is skillfully completed. After achieving the perfect neckline, the work is then joined in the round, allowing for a fluid and continuous body construction. The body is worked in the round with clever increases on both sides, creating a flattering slight A-shape that drapes gracefully. Plus, the hem is artfully shaped using short rows for an elegant finish. The final touch is the collar, knit last to complete this stunning piece. This cabled sweater pattern features both charted and written instructions, making it accessible for knitters of varying skill levels.
