I used to think of cables as just two simple lines twisting over each other, but my stitch dictionary opened my eyes to an enormous world of possibilities. I immediately fell in love with the cable in this burgundy sweater and was excited to use it in a sweater.
This sweater is the first one I made using this book as inspiration, and it's still one of my favorites. I used a smooth, simple yarn in burgundy so none of the detail of this amazing cable would be lost.
It's a long turtleneck with a ribbed neck and waist. The twisting cable is over a background of reverse stockinette, which really makes the cables pop, with a garter stitch belly for extra stretch.
I love this sweater on my Chiweenie model, but I think it would look great on a longer dog as well, like a small dachshund.
