Directions:

Yoke: (yoke is shaped by short rows – take special note of which row you are on for each pattern as you work, since the short rows cause you to be working different rows of the patterns at the same time)

Rows 3-8 set pattern for short rows. Continue to work short rows as set (rows 3-8), keeping in respective patterns as set until yoke measures approximately 46 inches on long edge of yoke, and 16 ½ inches along short edge (neck edge).

Bind off on next row, completing cables as you bind off.

Pick up 320 sts on long edge of yoke.

(Sweater is worked in one piece down to armholes.)

Rows 1 and 2 set pattern. Instructions between  (**  **)’s  are the raglan armhole shaping instructions. After rows 1 and 2, only the instructions for the armhole shaping will be given, as those instructions change on every row. The rest of the pattern will remain as originally set, so the set pattern will not be included on subsequent rows.  It is a good idea to separate the individual cable patterns with stitch markers to keep your place, as well as placing stitch markers at either side of the raglan shaping.
