Woven Cable Cardigan

About the Pattern
The Woven Cable Cardigan is knitted seamlessly from the top down using a saddle shoulder construction. Short rows are first worked to shape the front neckline while increases are worked simultaneously for the front and back pieces. The saddles continue into the sleeves and are shaped with increases. After the yoke, the body and sleeves are worked separately. Decorative borders with pintucks and a horizontal braid line, as well as a cable pattern, are worked before the piece is finished with a slipped-stitch rib pattern for the hems. Stitches are picked up along the front edges for the button band and worked in the slipped-stitch rib pattern. For the neckline, stitches are picked up around the neck opening, a horizontal braid line is worked, and then the slipped-stitch rib pattern is continued. Finally, buttons are sewn onto the button band.
