Who doesn’t love a textural cable knit for casual coffee dates and weekend hangouts? This one is knit seamless, including the ribbed collar. Optional pockets are lined with fabric to reduce bulk, but you could line them with knitting if you prefer. The ribbed sleeve keeps the silhouette slim.

This is a Cocoknits Method pattern.
