Product Description

A chic cowl neck sweater pattern that is oh so sleek and slimming. It's worked from the top down, beginning with a gorgeously lush cabled cowl neck. The braided cable pattern used is deceptively easy to knit, but creates a very eye-catching design.

Then, a bold lace panel embellishes the front of the sweater, bringing the eye up and down for a slimming effect. Shaping along the waist ensures a flattering, and sexy fit.

Shown above with 3/4 length, flared sleeves and generous cabled cuffs. A second version with short cap sleeves, which can be worn as a great layering piece like a vest, is also included in this pattern. (see photo at left and close-up below).

Knit in a soft wool blend called Swish Bulky from Knit Picks.

  1. SO SLIMMING

    Posted by Lynette on 4th Jul 2013

    THIS IS A MUST FOR NEXT WINTER AND WILL WILL LOOK GREAT WITH JEANS OR FOR WORK. THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE FANTASTIC PATTERNS

  2. Cable & Lace

    Posted by Kathy Goldenbogen on 19th May 2013

    I love a challenge and this pattern gives me that. I've knitted sweaters from the neck down before, but never any with so much detail.

    The only sad thing, is that I had to rebuy the pattern as I had the first one in my computer and unprinted. My computer crashed and took #90 and #128 with it. So I'll eventually have to rebuy #128 also. No matter, they are worth having.
    I look forward to the end product.

  3. Love the top down method

    Posted by Unknown on 27th Jan 2013

    I modified this a little to suit my needs, but only because the pattern was so user friendly. Love top down methods in the round,very quick and easy.

  4. Great sweater pattern

    Posted by Elisabeth Valev on 24th Nov 2012

    The pattern is actually two sweaters,one with sleeves and the other more like a tunic with short sleeves. So great value,..you get two for one,..and also very easy to understand,..even for me who's norwegian. Well written with excellent instructions! If you want to see other projects made, go to ravelry and find the pattern there, then click on projects. I can highly recommend using this pattern,makes a wonderful sweater :-)
