This sweater top is covered in gorgeous vertical cables, not just on the body but running up each sleeve as well. The cables are simple but repetitive for visual interest. This design includes thoughtful shaping at the shoulders and set-in sleeves.
The name comes from the idea that cabled sweaters like this cannot be made from crochet – and yet, here it is! A stunning sweater with “fabled” crochet cables.
