Cabled sweaters are back trending in the fashion world once again, but they never left knitter's closets (or project wish lists). They're hard-wearing pieces that are definitely worth investing some time into.
The selected designs look great in classic neutral shades or beautiful jewel tones. They may feel a bit overpowering in bright hues, but if that's your style, go for it!
Veera Välimäki’s Harvest Moon Sweater combines a large front and back symmetrical cable with two smaller cables on each side. The same big cable runs down the center of the sleeves. The rest is knit in moss stitch, a classic choice for cabled sweaters.
The sweater has raglan sleeves and a funnel neck. The pattern is knit from the top down with sport-weight yarn. We absolutely love the mustard color Veera chose for the sample piece! It is available in 9 sizes, with bust measurements ranging from 38 to 70" (95 to 175 cm).
Anne B. Hansen’s version of this classic piece is a beautifully fitted sweater with set-in sleeves. The body is worked from the bottom up in the round. After finishing the body, the sleeves are worked seamlessly from the top down.
