The Old Mill Sweater is an ode to mirroring cables, worked in
quite a fine gauge which makes this sweater a true dream to
wear. Cabled sweaters can often feel heavy with all the twists,
but not in fingering weight yarn, they are truly a delight.
This sweater is worked from the top down in one piece. First
you work the back and then pick up stitches for each shoulder
before joining for the front. The folding collar is worked last.
