Unisex Cable Sweater Knitting Pattern

Knit an Oversized Cable Sweater for Anyone

You want a roomy, cozy cable sweater, but oversized fits so often turn out boxy and droopy at the shoulders.
This one is relaxed and easy to wear, with shoulders that still sit neatly where they should.

If you’ve made a sweater or two and you’re ready to try cables, this is a good next step.
There’s just one cable cross used throughout, so you settle into the rhythm quickly.

Skill Level: Intermediate
Finished Size: 10 sizes, finished bust 42 to 72 in (106.5 to 183 cm)

• Fit it as you go: worked from the top down, so you can try it on and stop the body and sleeves at the length you like.
• No sewing up at the end: the sleeves are picked up right from the armholes and the body joins in the round.
• Ready for any wearer: includes notes for adjusting the shoulders, sleeves, and length for a broader or taller build, handy if you’re making one for a partner.

            “My first real cable sweater, and the shoulders fit exactly how I hoped.”
