Baguette

If seasonal layers are your jam (looking at you, spring & autumn!), you’ll love the layering potential of this sleeveless cabled turtleneck. Baguette features an all-over pattern of classic cables, and it fits perfectly under a jacket – without adding bulk to the sleeves. Layer it with your favorite seasonal pieces and you’ll look perfectly put-together! You’ll find a steady knitting flow with this bottom-up, mostly seamless top. It works well for mindless social knitting, too! CONSTRUCTION Baguette is knit bottom-up in the round to the underarms. From there, the front and back sections are worked flat, with a shaped neckline and seams just along the top shoulders. The turtleneck and armhole ribbing are added last. The front and back are both fully cabled.
