The Moby Sweater is a richly textured cable sweater worked from the top down in a seamless construction. The design begins with a shaped back yoke using short rows, followed by the front shoulders and yoke. Body and sleeves are then worked in the round, finishing with a folded rib neckline that’s knitted together for a tidy, double-layered finish. With its bold texture and luxurious fabric, the Moby Sweater is a rewarding knit for experienced makers and a timeless addition to any hand-knit wardrobe.
