I love playing with cables, twisting them this way and that way ending up with something that does not look like your traditional cable. The lovely decoration the cables give this sweater is perfect for wearing with dresses. Just enough to adorn but not distract from the dress. Of course it works quite well with pants or any day you want to feel cute. I picked the name Sophie just because I think it is a pretty name and that it fits the sweater. Moreover the name Sophie means wisdom, so maybe it is wise to have lots of charming cardigans!

This cardigan is constructed from the top down in one piece with saddle shoulders and set-in sleeves. The shoulders are shaped by short rows. There is no body shaping past the armholes; the cable panels and ribbed band add some natural shaping. The length of the body and sleeves are easily adjusted. I love the Anzula Cricket I used for this design, it is super soft, feels great next to the skin and has great stitch definition.

Finished bust: 30 (33.25, 36.5, 39.5, 42, 45.25, 48.5, 51.5, 54, 57.25, 60.5)”. Modeled with .75” negative ease.
