Step-by-Step Instructions

Back Panel

1. Cast on 90 (100, 110) stitches using your US 8 (5mm) knitting needles.
2. Work in 2x2 ribbing (K2, P2) for 2 inches. This will create a stretchy and comfortable hem.
3. Switch to stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl the next) and work 4 rows.
4. Begin the cable pattern:
   • Row 1 (Right Side): K2, *C6F (cable 6 front), K6; repeat from * to the last 2 stitches, K2.
   • Row 2 (Wrong Side): Purl all stitches.
5. Repeat these 2 rows until the piece measures 24 (26, 28) inches from the cast-on edge.
6. Bind off all stitches loosely to maintain elasticity.

Front Panel

1. Repeat the same steps as the back panel to create the front panel.

Sleeves

1. For each sleeve, cast on 40 (45, 50) stitches.
2. Work in 2x2 ribbing (K2, P2) for 2 inches.
3. Switch to stockinette stitch and increase 1 stitch at each end every 6th row until you have 70 (75, 80) stitches.
4. Continue working in stockinette stitch until the sleeve measures 18 (20, 22) inches from the cast-on edge.
5. Bind off all stitches loosely.

Assembly

1. Sew the shoulder seams of the front and back panels together.
2. Attach the sleeves to the armholes, ensuring they are evenly aligned.
3. Sew the side seams from the bottom of the sweater to the end of the sleeves.
4. Pick up stitches around the neckline using your knitting needles.
5. Work in 2x2 ribbing for 1 inch to create a finished neckline.
6. Bind off loosely to maintain a comfortable fit.
