Step-by-Step Instructions
Back Panel
- Begin by casting on 60 stitches using your super bulky weight yarn and US size 15 needles.
- Work in 2x2 ribbing (knit 2, purl 2) for 4 inches.
- Switch to stockinette stitch (knit one row, purl the next) and incorporate a central cable pattern as follows:
- Row 1 (Right Side): Knit 20 stitches, work cable pattern over the next 20 stitches, knit 20 stitches.
- Continue this pattern until the piece measures 24 inches from the cast-on edge.
- To shape the shoulders, bind off 5 stitches at the beginning of the next 4 rows.
- Bind off the remaining stitches for the neck.
Front Panel
- Repeat the instructions for the back panel.
- However, when your piece measures 20 inches, begin neck shaping by binding off the central 10 stitches and working each side separately.
Sleeves
- Cast on 30 stitches.
- Work in 2x2 ribbing for 3 inches.
- To increase the width, increase 1 stitch at each end every 6th row until you have 50 stitches.
- Continue knitting until the sleeve measures 18 inches from the cast-on edge.
Finishing
- Sew the shoulder seams together.
- Set in the sleeves by aligning them with the armholes and sewing them in place.
- Sew the side seams and the seams of the sleeves.
- Pick up and knit around the neckline, working in 2x2 ribbing for 2 inches.
- Bind off loosely to ensure a comfortable fit.
