Modern Twist

*If you purchase 4 or more patterns from my Ravelry Shop at the time (add them all to your cart before you check out), you automatically receive a 20% discount.* **Design**: This design is a modern twist on a traditional cable knit sweater. It has a simple cable (twist!) pattern, modified drop shoulders, and the option of a crew neck or turtle neck. **Fit**: Measurements shown above are the body circumference of the finished garment. I suggest you choose a size that measures approximately 4-8 inches (10-20 cm) more than your actual full chest/bust measurement. **How it’s Knit:** It is knit from the top down, in one piece. You begin by knitting the upper back, then stitches are picked up for the upper front sections and the shoulders are shaped with short rows. It has some armhole shaping and then the body is knit in the round. Sleeve stitches are picked up from the main piece, and the sleeves begin with some short rows and then are knit in the round. Collar stitches are picked up and knit at the end. The pattern includes links to videos that show a couple of the techniques, just in case that is something you find helpful. If you have any pattern questions, please post them [here][1]. **Yarn**: You can use any yarn that gives you the pattern gauge and a fabric you like. The cream sample is knit in [Knit Picks Simply Wool Worsted][2]. **Estimated Yarn Amounts: (yards / metres):** The amounts below are based on a body length from the underarm that measures about 13.5 inches (35 cm) from the underarm, and a turtle neck. If you wish to lengthen it, you may need more yarn. For a crew neck, you will need about 75 yds/m less.
