This is a sweater that says, "Winter, bring it on!" A generous and cozy cowl neck tops a beautifully cabled sweater that just epitomizes sweater weather in classic winter white.

Front and back feature the same wide cable with touches of lace. Smaller side cables and an easy-to-work textured stitch flank the center cable. Sides are left straight for a casual feel, while shoulders are sloped and sleeves are slim with extended ribbing to keep the fit flattering.

A nicely scooped front neckline is topped with a generous ribbed cowl neck. Pockets are knit in and the bottom ribbing is left unseamed and longer in the back for a modern touch.

This sweater is intended to have ~4-6" [10-15 cm] of positive ease at the bust. For a boxier and more casual fit, go up a size.
