Baby Cocktails Herbsaint is the sweater to bridge the seasons this year, featuring short sleeves, an easy fit, and some gorgeous and unexpected cables. A simple women’s knitted tee is easy to wear with anything for either a late summer night or a crisp fall day. The neckline and shoulder shaping play into the ribbing, as does the optional shaping at the bottom edge of the back. The upper part is worked in two panels – front and back – worked sideways from sleeve to sleeve. Stitches are picked up to complete the lower body. The cable pattern is charted and written out.
