The sleeves and yoke of this pullover are worked in one piece from cuff to cuff, and then the sleeve seams are sewn together. Stitches are picked up from the base of the yoke for the body and worked down to the bottom edge. Because the yoke is worked sideways, it is very important that you match the row gauge given for the Cable Pattern.
The cable pattern is presented in both written and charted formats.

Like many knitters, I learned how to knit from my mother at an early age, then promptly forgot as life got in the way. I returned to it for a short time as a student in Paris when a friend convinced me to try it again. The third time was the charm—my mother retaught me while I was in grad school. I was tired of trying to find sweaters with long enough sleeves to fit my 6′ frame, so I decided I’d just make my own. I fell madly in love with knitting, and eventually slipped into designing for myself when I began reworking existing patterns with elements that I liked better. And, of course, adjusting the sleeve and body lengths.
