WORKED IN PLAIN STOCKINETTE PANELS and gull-stitch cables, this innovative, asymmetric design is a quick knit on size 10 1/2 needles. A defined waist, flared ribbed cuffs, and set-in sleeves make it decidedly feminine. The unadorned square neckline is edged in simple crab stitch, and a zipper placed under the cabled flap is barely detectable.
