This sweater is designed to make the waist look small and the shoulders broader.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Designer Knitting Pattern
The designer knitting pattern presents a new fun way to create ribbing. The sleeves are worked entirely in two-by-two ribbing with the columns of knit stitches in cables that are fashioned without a cable needle. This top-down sweater is knit in one piece – no seams. And it was designed for Trendsetter’s Basis, a variegated yarn with subtle color transitions that are a delightful compliment to the cabled sleeves.

This pattern includes instructions for all sizes, a list of all abbreviations, a schematic for accurate blocking, and a glossary of terms. It is accompanied by our proprietary StitchSaver™ Row Checker. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on our web site.

With check off boxes for each row you can put this project aside for a week, a month or a year and return to the exact spot where you stopped."
