Ariel´s mom sweater

Sometimes a simple stitch pattern can do magic for a plain sweater.

This sweater is a long cardigan in warm DK wool, perfect to wrap around yourself when it gets a little chilly.

The cable patter makes the cardigan interesting and fun to knit and also provides stability to the sides, so it stays in place and fits perfectly around your body.
