Introducing the perfect cozy knit: an easy-going boxy sweater featuring elegant cables that travel from the shoulders down to the wrists. This versatile piece allows you to express your style—choose a solid color for a timeless wardrobe staple or opt for a stunning fade set that beautifully transitions from one hue to the next.

This stylish sweater is designed to be worn with positive ease for a relaxed fit. When selecting your size, aim for approximately 8 inches (20 cm) of positive ease at the bust circumference to ensure maximum comfort and a flattering silhouette.

Yarn Requirements: This pattern calls for Uschitita Merino Singles, a luxurious 100% merino wool yarn that offers a delightful softness and warmth at 366 m/100 g. Alternatively, feel free to use any fingering weight yarn that you prefer. The sample sweater is shown in a beautiful color combination featuring Braveheart (C1), Owl (C2), Grounded (C3), and Moccacino (C4) that can inspire your own design choices.

For yarn quantities, you'll need 1-1-1 (1-1-2) 2-2-2-2 skeins of C1, 1 skein each of C2 and C3, and 1-1-1 (1-1-1) 1-1-2-2 skeins of C4, depending on your selected size.

Yardage: The pattern requires approximately 1020-1150-1180 (1260-1370-1420) 1490-1620-1795-2050 yards / 935-1050-1080 (1150-1250-1300) 1360-1485-1640-1875 meters, ensuring you have enough yarn to create your dream sweater.

Needles: You will need US 4 (3.5 mm) and US 1½ (2.5 mm) 24-inch (60 cm) circular needles for the project, along with dpns if you prefer to knit the sleeves in the round. Be sure to adjust your needle size as necessary to achieve the correct gauge, ensuring your sweater fits perfectly.

Gauge: To achieve the desired look, work at a gauge of 23 sts x 34 rows per 4x4 inches / 10x10 cm in stockinette stitch on the larger needles, after blocking. This gauge will help you create the perfect sweater that hugs your body just right while showcasing the intricate cable design.
