New Collection! Chalet: Cabled Sweaters

by Lee Meredith on January 26, 2021

We are obsessed with our new cabled sweaters book, Chalet! With an extensive size range, most of these garments are also gender-neutral and would be a great fit for any body. They feature a wide variety of cable patterns, from simple, easy-to-memorize repeats to much more complex, brain-twisting gnarls!

Book cover: text at the top - Chalet, Cabled Sweaters, by Knit Picks - and a photo of a woman modeling a light grey cabled sweater, with columns of cables running up the whole front of the body, including a wider, complex cable in the center, and cables running down the sleeves at the sides only. The woman is smiling and holding her left hand up to her curly hair, standing in front of a white background, and wearing blue jeans.
