“Not a boring sweater” is a lightweight cabled yoke sweater that turns heads. This versatile top is perfect for warmer weather and can be worn with jeans or skirts alike.

It is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. The yoke features cables down to sleeve separation. The body and sleeves are knit in plain stockinette down to the hem allowing easy length adjustments. The hem and cuffs repeat the yoke cabling pattern.
It’s designed to fit around the body without any positive ease.

Yarn used in sample is 5.5 balls of Phildar Preface (50g / 193m / 211yds). To achieve the best visual effect of the cabling pattern, my advice is to choose a solid or semi-solid colour that isn’t too dark.
