Design & Construction Details

Skill Level: Intermediate.
Construction: Worked flat in five separate pieces — two fronts, a back, and two sleeves, all from the bottom up; sleeves are worked sideways with cuffs picked up and knit downward from the selvage edge, then all pieces are seamed together and a collar is picked up and knit around the neckline.
Finished Measurements: Chest/hips (not including overlap) 40″ (44″-48″-52″-56″-60″)  / 101.5(112-122-132-142-152) cm; front/back length 27″ / 68.5 cm; sleeve length (rolled cuff to underarm) 18″ (18″-19″-19″-20″-20″) / 46(46-48-48-51-51) cm.
Pattern Style: Written in standard US knitting terms.
Stitches: Knit, purl, yarn over, kfb increase, k2tog, ssk, and centered double decrease (cdd), plus left and right cable crosses forming the double and single leaf motifs.
