I’m so in love with huge cables right now, especially ones with lots of texture. The Paradise Cardigan has a nice combination of ribbing and cables. It’s knit from the top down, making it easy to try it on and adjust the length if needed. To be sure the ribbing pattern is increasing in pattern check out the tips on page 144 of No-Sew Knits. And, if you’re graced with a lofty upper body, maybe try adding some bust dart shaping, keeping your wraps and turns in the knitted sections of the ribbing to hide them best.
