Procedure
The sweater is worked top-down. First, the neck ribbing is knitted, which is then folded down and knitted together with the cast-on edge. Short rows and raglan increases are worked to shape the neck. Raglan increases continue on the yoke. Simultaneously, the cable pattern is worked according to the chart. Then, the work is divided for the body and sleeves, and the cable pattern/Double Moss Stitch continues. The sweater is finished with ribbed edges on the body and sleeves.
