The Twisted Cable and Diamond Turtleneck from Vermont Fiber Designs is full of texture and beautiful details. This pattern is deceptively simple to work and doesn't even require a cable needle. Choose a soft yarn for a drapey sweater, or a stiffer yarn for a sweater with more body. Pullover is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up and seamed. Stitch patterns are both charted and written out.
