Siri Sweater

A cabled sweater seems more manageable when the cables are worked in St st on most rounds and only twisted every 4th and 6th rounds. Cables are combined with a simple moss stitch pattern which is highlighted nicely in both blown yarn and a wool and mohair combination. The sweater has cables running down the middle of each sleeve and three cables in the middle of the front. The back is in moss stitch.
