    About

    I had a dream of designing a sweater with mondo cable that could be completely knit on the stockinette side and then turned inside out and worn reverse-stockinette side out. After several tries, I realized that a circular yoke sweater with a reversible cable would yield the desired results.

    I love this sweater because it is super comfy to wear and it's also a lot of fun to make. The test-knitters all loved it - I think for those two reasons, as well.

    I love the yarn I used, too. It's lofty and slightly felted and it's a lot of fun to work with. The loftiness makes the sweater somewhat lightweight for its bulk.

    It knits up quickly, too, as it is worked on large needles.

    I am not sure that the colorway I used was "Cream", but that is the closest one available.

    I love this sweater and can't wait for the cooler weather so I can start wearing it again!

    Pattern

    Bold Sweater

    Needles & Hooks

    • Circular 5.50mm (US 9) 60cm

    Accessories

    • Cable Needle
    • Stitch Markers
    • Tapestry Needle
    Other : I used needles as described in the pattern - but, because I knit snugly, I actually go up a size from that recommended in the pattern.

    Measurements

    40 in

    Notes: I did not make any adjustments. I do have narrow shoulders and wear a petite in store-bought clothing, so the neck opening may be proportionately wider on me than it would be on someone else.
