The Oban Cardigan
Textured cables, honeycomb, and some ribbed detail that allows you to modify the body easily for width. Pockets play right into the cables, and the detail along each button band beautifully highlights the V-neck shaping as it runs into the cable panel on each side. Lastly, a delicate shawl collar is worked onto the sweater in garter stitch, adding a final touch to the sweater.
Notes are included in the pattern to alter length or width of either body or sleeves, and the shawl collar can easily be modified for a deeper fold if desired - or worked as a straight button band. Once again, these are simple cables, so the sweater is an easier knit than you’d think, and this yarn is as addictive as it can be!
