The sweater is worked from the top down. First, the back piece is worked flat with increases to build width and establish the cable pattern. Stitches are then picked up for the front pieces to align with the pattern, and the fronts are worked separately, shaping the neckline and armholes. The front and back pieces are then joined to form the body, which is worked in the round in the cable pattern. The sleeves are picked up and worked in the round, and the sweater is finished with ribbed edges, a neckline, loops, and buttons.
