Garter stitch cables, diagonal ribs and an interesting construction make for a great knit! Cedarwood is a drop shoulder pullover that starts in pieces in parts which all come together at the underarms. The single cable and diagonal ribs are just enough to keep the knitting interesting in the body. The cables are based on cables from Norah Gaughan’s book Knitted Cable Sourcebook. For the sample I used Anzula Katara, a lovely merino yak mix which is super soft and has great stitch definition.

Notes: This drop shoulder pullover is constructed seamlessly from the top down with saddles. It begins with the neckband, followed by saddles and then the back and front stitches are picked up. (See diagram on page 5).The back and front are worked flat down to the underarm, where they are joined, then the body is worked in the round down to the garter hem. Stitches are picked up around the armholes to work the sleeves from the top down. The body and sleeve lengths are easily adjusted. Since most of the sweater is worked in the Garter Rib Stitch it is the critical gauge.
