This chunky, cropped cabled jacket features a fitted look, wide collar, and slim sleeves. The reverse stockinette buttonband is knitted at the same time as the two fronts. While the fronts are worked in cables the back is simple stockinette. This combined with the large gauge makes this a relatively fast knit.
