Winding Trail Sweater Pattern

By Kate Oates

The twisty asymmetrical cabled front of this cozy pullover brings to mind a soothing walk alongside a riverside nature trail. Sweater is worked from the top down so that you can easily add length for some extra growing room or for taller children.

Shoulders are knit first as the basis for seamless set-in sleeve construction and stitches for the body and sleeves are picked up and worked from there. Pattern is suitable for advanced beginning knitters ready to try minimal cabling. Cable instructions are both written and charted. Shown in Size 2.
