SWEETHEART'S FISHERMAN PULLOVER

A long sleeved, round neck pullover. The center panel is the Valentine cable
(heart shaped), the side panels are OXOX cables, Lover's knot, and the sleeve
also has a 4 st. Mock cable.

SIZE: I am only including instructions for one size, with a finished chest
measurement of approx. 48". My original instructions included other sizes,
but appear quite snug by today's styles. You may want to add more width to
your sweater. You can accomplish this by either working additional sts in
the Seed St sections, or by adding some purl sts in between the pattern
panels.

MATERIALS: I am "guesstimating" that this sweater will need about 10 skeins

of a worsted wt. yarn, with approx. 220 yds per 100 gr. skein. My original
used 8 sk. of a Brunswick wool yarn (Monhegan).
Knitting needles sizes 6 and 8 (US), or size to obtain gauge.
16" circ. needle size 6
Cable needle
Blunt tapestry needle
