DIRECTIONS
Body
With US #5 circular needle CO 186 [210, 234, 258, 282, 300] sts.
Place marker and join to work in the round, being careful not to twist.
Work in 4x2 Rib for 8 rounds.
Next round: Change to longer US #6 circular needle and start Cable Pattern.
Work 16 rows of Cable Pattern until work measures 13 [13.5, 14, 14.5, 15, 15.5] inches.

IMPORTANT: Take note of which pattern round you end on, and write it down! The sleeves will have to end on the same pattern round.

Next round: Slip 9[9, 9, 12, 12, 12] sts just worked (before marker) onto a st holder, work next 9 [9, 9, 12, 12, 12] sts and slip onto the same holder (18 [18, 18, 24, 24, 24] sts total on holder), work across 75 [87, 99, 117, 129, 138] sts, slip next 18 [18, 18, 24, 24, 24] sts onto a holder, work across remaining 75 [87, 99, 117, 129, 138] sts.
Leave ball of yarn attached.

Left Sleeve
With US #5 dpns, CO 66 [72, 78, 84, 90, 96] sts.
Place marker and join to work in the round, being careful not to twist.
Work in 4x2 Rib for 8 rounds.
Next round: Change to US #6 needles and start Cable Pattern.

Move st marker 3 sts to the left.
On next round (Cable Patt round 1), begin working cable pattern in inc'd sts.
Cont in Cable Pattern until work measures 6.5 [7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5] inches.

IMPORTANT: Make sure you end with the same patt round the body ended with. This is much more important than the sleeves being the right length, as it will ensure that the cable patt flows smoothly into the yoke of the sweater.

Last Round: Sl 9[9, 9, 12, 12, 12] sts just worked (before marker) onto a st holder, work next 9 [9, 9, 12, 12, 12] sts and sl onto same holder (18[18, 18, 24, 24, 24] sts total on holder), work to end of round. Sl all sts not on holder to spare dpns.

Cont in patt without shaping until work measures 18[19, 20, 21, 22, 23] inches.

IMPORTANT: To continue, it is important that your next round begins with 4 purl sts (last round ends with 2 knit sts). If this is not the case, remove the marker and place it just after the last pair of knit sts you worked. This is now the beginning of your round.
