Fog Cutter
This one is a striking but simple sweater that’s just perfect for a foggy day at the beach or a cool summer night.
Fog Cutter is versatile, flattering, and easy to throw on. It features a beautiful combination of cables, lace, and texture in a panel that undulates like waves over small stones. A split hem, some ribbed detail, and boldly seamed shoulders also add to the interest on this design, and reverse stockinette on sleeves and back keep the focus on the details.
My friend Gabriella is wearing the sweater high on the hip with 5” of positive ease for a nice, easy fit, but altering things for either width or depth is easy and instructions are included in the pattern.
The sweater is knit in 4 pieces and seamed together at shoulders and along underarms/sides.

Yarn: O-Wool Balance (50% cotton, 50% Merino wool; 130yds/119m per 1.76oz/50g skein). Sample shown in Natural.
If substituting yarn, I suggest a solid or tweed in a light, lofty fiber. I do not suggest any yarns with pronounced texture or variegation as they will compete with the cable detail. I designed this in Balance so it would be a warm weather sweater, but it would work beautifully if knit in a wool for winter wear.
