Materials Needed

• Yarn: Bulky weight yarn (approx. 100-120 yards per 100g)
• Needles: US Size 10 (6.0 mm) circular needles
• Gauge: 12 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in ribbing pattern

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Cast On: Begin by casting on 80 stitches using the long-tail cast on method. Ensure that your stitches are not too tight to allow for flexibility in your ribbing.
2. Hem: Work in a 2x2 ribbing pattern (k2, p2) for 5 inches. This will create a stretchy and comfortable hem. Remember to keep your tension consistent throughout this section.
3. Body: After completing the hem, switch to the cable pattern. Start by working 6 stitches of cable followed by 2 stitches of ribbing. Repeat this pattern until the piece measures 20 inches from the cast-on edge. Make sure to check your gauge and adjust your tension if necessary to maintain the pattern's integrity.
4. Raglan Shaping: For the raglan shaping, bind off 8 stitches at the beginning of the next 2 rows. This will create the armholes and give your jumper a fitted shape.
5. Continue Cable Pattern: Keep working in the cable pattern until the armholes measure 8 inches. This section will form the upper part of your jumper, so ensure that your cables are neat and well-defined.
6. Sleeves: To create the sleeves, pick up 40 stitches along the armhole. Work in the cable pattern for 18 inches, mirroring the body of the jumper for a cohesive look.
7. Cuff: Finish each sleeve with a 2x2 ribbing for 5 inches at the cuff. This will help to keep the sleeves snug and comfortable on your wrists.
8. Bind Off: Once you have completed the sleeves, bind off all stitches loosely to ensure that the edges are not too tight.
9. Blocking: Finally, block the finished jumper to shape and enhance the cable texture. This step is crucial as it will help to even out your stitches and give your jumper a polished finish.

Now you have your very own cozy cable knit jumper! Wear it with pride or gift it to someone special. Happy knitting!
