This pattern can be found in issue 9 of Laine Magazine.

The Ramsay pullover is boxy and cabled, with close-fitting sleeves to add a balanced fit. The body is worked flat and in pieces, shoulders shaped with wrap and turn short rows, then shoulders joined with a 3-needle bind-off. Sleeves are then picked up from the armhole opening, and the mattress stitch is used to seam the sweater body and sleeves. Mirroring cable patterns are placed on either side of a decrease stockinette pattern at the centre of the pullover, which creates a slight dip in the hem on the front and back.
