Lady Macbeth is one of Shakespeare’s strong women. She has her dark side, as well as her feminine side.

The sweater has minimal ease for a close fit. The sweater body is knit with a garter rib. The bands and collar are reversible cables, allowing turn back of cuffs and lapels. The saddle shoulders meet at the back neck. A separating zipper can be hand sewn into the front, stopping short of the neck. Hooks and eyes are also a closure option.

The body pattern is in words, but the cable pattern is charted.
