We don’t think we’ll ever get tired of knitted cables;

they’re easy to work and add fabulous detail to

any design. This one uses a traditional four-stitch

twist to create a striking centre panel, while the rest is

simple reverse stocking stitch. With its flattering v-neck

and three-quarter length sleeves, this sweater

is a popular shape for all figures. Find more new

season knits to suit your style over on page 43.
