Cable Lace Sweater Knitting Pattern

Make a Sweater Worth Wearing Again and Again

You put real time and care into a sweater. This one gives you something worth keeping — a relaxed, cropped pullover with Argyle cable and lace detail running from shoulder to sleeve that looks anything but plain.

The construction is logical and well-organized, so you spend more time actually making and less time second-guessing. Each section builds naturally on the last, from the hem upward.

Skill Level: Experienced
Finished Size: Body circumference 110 (124, 138) cm / approx. 43 (49, 54) in. Recommended 10–30 cm / 4–12" positive ease at bust. Body length approx. 51–52 cm / 20–20.5 in.

• The Argyle cable and lace panels run along the shoulder bands and sleeves, giving the sweater a strong focal point without overwhelming the overall look — most of the body stays in clean stockinette
• Three sizes with full schematic measurements, so you can compare against your own gauge and choose the fit that works for your body, not just your chest circumference
• Bottom-up construction with detailed charts for all cable and gusset sections, so you always know exactly where you are in the piece

"I loved how the shoulders came together — it felt satisfying at every stage, not just at the end."
