INTERLOCKING CABLES
d e s i g n by S H I RL EY PADEN
SHIRLEY PADEN HAS COMBINED A GRACEFUL SILHOUETTE with a rich textural pattern in this casually elegant pullover. A silky merino yarn from Tahki/Stacy Charles shows off the intricate intertwining cable pattern, and allows for the collars gentle drape. A narrow rib makes for a smooth edging, while raglan sleeve shaping creates a smooth line at the shoulder. Knitters looking for a texture tour-de-force need look no further.

Finished Size 34 (3812, 43, 48)" (86.5 [98, 109, 122] cm). Sweater shown measures 34" (86.5 cm). Yarn Filatura di Crosa Zara (100% wool; 136 yd [125 m]/50 g): #1705 oatmeal, 15 (17, 19, 21) balls. Yarn distributed by Tahki/Stacy Charles. Needles Sizes 7, 8, 9, and 10 (4.5, 5, 5.5, and 6 mm): 32" (80-cm) circular. Adjust needle size if necessary to obtain the correct gauge. Notions Markers (m); cable needle (cn); stitch holders; tapestry needle. Gauge 60 sts and 52 rows = 8" (20.5 cm) in interlocking cables patt on size 8 (5-mm) needle; 62 sts and 60 rows = 8" (20.5 cm) in ribbing patt on size 7 (4.5-mm) needle.

ending places for your size), cross the stitches that are available in the same direction as the original cable (either to the right or to the left). If there is an even number of stitches, cross half the stitches over the other half of the stitches to make the cable. If there is an odd number, arrange the stitches in the cable crossing so that group of stitches with the extra stitch crosses on top of the other group of stitches. Body Ribbing: With size 7 (4.5-mm) needle, CO 280 (320, 360, 400) sts. Place marker (pm) to indicate end of rnd, and join, being careful not to twist sts.
