SLEEVES (make 2)
Each Sleeve begins by making a cabled band. The band is simply the Right Cable, with an extra st at the edge. The extra st is worked in St st. Sts for the Sleeve are picked up along this St st edge of the cabled band.
Cabled Band (make 1 for each Sleeve)
Cast on 12 sts.

Bind off.
SleeveRow 1 (RS):
From RS, pick up and k52 (56, 60, 64) sts evenly spaced across the long side of the cabled band (the long side with the edge st). An easy way to pick up sts evenly spaced is to use pins (or even binder clips, whatever you have handy) to divide the cabled band into quarters. Then just pick up and k13 (14, 15, 16) sts evenly spaced across each quarter section of the band.
Beg with a WS (purl) row, work St st until piece measures about
1 1/2 in. (4 cm) from cabled band, end with a WS (purl) row as
the last row you work.
Increase Row (RS): K1, M1, k to last st, M1, k1 – 54 (58, 62, 66) sts. Continue in St st for 15 (9, 7, 7) rows.
Next Row: Rep the Increase Row – 56 (60, 64, 68) sts. Rep the last 16 (10, 8, 8) rows 2 (4, 5, 6) more times – you’ll now have 60 (68, 74, 80) sts. Continue even in St st until piece measures about 13 (13 1/2, 13 1/2, 14) in. (33 (34.5, 34.5, 35.5) cm), measuring from lower edge of cabled band, end with a WS row as the last row you work.

FINISHING
Step 1: Sew shoulder seams.
Step 2: Join the ends of the neckbands using the 3-Needle Bind Off, as follows:
1. Slip the sts for right neckband from holder onto one end of circular needle and sts for left neckband onto opposite end of needle.
2. Hold ends of needle together in one hand, so that WS of each neckband is facing out.
3. With spare needle, knit tog the first st from each needle, *knit tog the next st from each needle, pass first st worked over the 2nd to bind off; rep from * across.
Cut yarn and pull yarn end through the last st.
Note: If you like, you can just sew the ends of the neckbands tog – but we found that the 3-Needle Bind Off created a very attractive finish.
For these next steps, you’ll be sewing the pieces of the Cardigan together. You may find it helpful to position the pieces before sewing by pinning them together first.
Step 3: Neatly sew the edge of the neckband (this is the long edge with the extra st) to the Back neck edge.
Step 4: Matching the center of the Sleeve cap to the shoulder seam of the Cardigan, sew in Sleeves.
Step 5: Matching the underarm seams, sew side and Sleeve seams. Weave in all yarn ends.

Where wouldn’t I wear this cardigan. We heat our home with a wood stove so the corners can be a bit chilly in the winter. My home office is in one of those chilly corners and I would most certainly wear it when I’m working. As I seldom don a heavy coat even in the coldest weather because I hate driving in a coat, it would most likely get worn every time I left the house too. So, basically, if I’m not in bed sleeping, that sweater would be on me.
All around the town !

Being curvy, I have never knitted anything for myself. Purple is also my very favorite color! So what could be more perfect? Me in this gorgeous sweater, in my fav color and knitted by ME!
depending on the color, if in white – would wear to eastern star or church mostly, and also to other dressy occasions. if in other colors would wear to church and other more casual places. for me the color of an item in this style makes a big difference. this lush purple when worn with the right outfit could be very dressy, mostly more casual. if made with beads or pearls & done in white, would be very elegant and could be a nice jacket for an afternoon party or even simple wedding. i would love it in red – my favorite color and wear it constantly, in cooler weather, everywhere. lol

I’d get an elastic clasp belt to wear it walking (hate flapping fronts), but the belt would be easy to tuck in my bag when I’ve arrived at 1. running errands, 2. meeting up with friends, 3. at the office. Yes, it would pretty much fit into every aspect of my life.
And, after it got a little ratty out in the world, I’d wear it on chilly movie nights, rather than turn up the thermostat (gotta save my complexion!) I’m in charge of snacks, so I need something other than the requisite snuggly afghan.

I would wear this sweater to work on Fridays. I work 1/2 days, so it’s casual Friday’s. Afterwards, I either get a pedicure, hang out with my daughter or go shopping/errand running. After dinner my husband and I get together with a few other couples for sharing our faith in Bible Dtudy. Since my only evening out, I like looking nice. This sweater would fit he bill.

Some are too proud to ask for help, but you know and can see that they could use anything that someone like myself, can give to them.

I would wear this cardigan as my nighttime winter coat down here in San Antonio Tx. You really don’t need a daytime coat or sweater! Sometimes though, at night it might hit 40 degrees so the cardigan would be perfect for me. The natives however would have on down parkas, hats, scarves, mittens and mukluks! At least that means I can still keep knitting hats and mittens for charity 🙂 I also greatly appreciate that the pattern is written for those of us who are more “Rubenesque”.
