Brighten up cold days in this raglan sleeve long line tunic with a lattice cable panel, optional waist shaping, and turtle neck and raglan sleeves.
The main body of the garment is worked in Reverse Stocking Stitch, with the cable panel worked on the centre of the back and front, and a twisted cable knitted up the centre of each sleeve. Instructions for the cable panels are given in chart form. Double rib is used for the edgings and neck.
This sweater is designed to be very close-fitting on the bust and hips with gentle shaping to the waist, which could be omitted.
The instructions are for flat knitting the back, front and sleeves separately from the bottom up. The neckband is formed by picking up stitches around the neckline after the right shoulder seam has been joined.
The illustration has been knitted using James C Brett Marble Chunky (shade MC48), any Chunky / Bulky yarn that knits to the specified gauge of 14 sts and 20 rows to 10cm/4in may be used.
