Herbalist - your staple cabled sweater knitting pattern

Herbalist is comfortable, squishy, and easy to wear, the kind of garment that’s easy to reach for every day. Featuring tubular cast-ons and bind-offs, this sweater makes the most of a special, speckled yarn.

The Herbalist sweater knits up fast with an all-over cable texture on the cropped body and stockinette sleeves. The fit is easily customized, with the pattern including instructions for creating a full-length sweater and tips for adding width to the front. Herbalist is knit flat and seamed with a stretchy tubular hem, neckline, and cuffs.

This pattern includes progress charts for the at-the-same-time raglan and neck shaping.

Construction

Herbalist is knit flat and seamed. Tubular cast-ons and bind-offs create stretchy and durable hems, cuffs, and collar.
