Sometimes what you really want is a casual but smart sweater which you can dress up for a special occasion or dress down for an evening with friends, and is comfortable and easy to wear.
This elegant boat-necked sweater is knitted in Stylecraft Classique Cotton DK, a beautifully soft yarn with excellent drapability and stitch definition which will show off the simplicity of the design and unusual cabling on the sleeves.
The long-sleeved sweater is straightforward stocking stitch, with raglan sleeves and a wide double rib at the cuffs and waist, with a narrower band at the neck, and the sleeves feature beautiful plaited cables.
You will also need a cable needle and stitch holders.
Instructions are to fit bust sizes 81cm-107cm (32"-42")
Please note: This pattern leaflet lists yarn amounts for Classique Cotton - DK 100g. This has been replaced by Stylecraft with Classique Cotton DK - 50g, and so we have doubled the number of balls required in the details given below.
