Smocked Cable Cardigan Knitting Pattern

Knit the Smocked Cable Cardigan in Your Size

You want a cabled cardigan with real texture, not another plain sweater.
But a big cable project can feel like a lot to take on.

Every size has its own chart, so you’re never adapting a design made for someone else.
Once the shoulders are done, the body repeats what you’ve already worked.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: 2XS to 5XL (finished bust 41" to 64" / 104 to 163 cm)

• Relaxed fit with clear sizing guidance. Aim for 10 to 12" (25 to 30 cm) of positive ease at the bust, so choosing your size is less of a guess.
• Top-down and seamless. Knit in one piece with no side seams, and set your own body and sleeve length before the ribbing.
• Short-row shoulders made easier. A full yoke chart is included, so the shaping is simpler to follow even if charted short rows have tripped you up before.

         “I was nervous about the short rows, but once the yoke was done the rest just flowed.”
