Slip any remaining sts from holder to needles as necessary. 169[179, 185, 195, 203, 211, 219] sts total.
Continuing in the same direction: flip next st from purl to knit, leaving it on left needle, work the next row of Latticed Diamond Cable Right; k to 2 before neckline marker, work Latticed Diamond Cable Right.
Note: From this point until you finish the armscye you are going to be working four instances of Latticed Cable Diamond in each row - to the right on right front, to the right on right sleeve/shoulder, to the left on left sleeve/shoulder, and to the left on left front. Be aware that the patterning on the sleeves will not be in sync with the patterning on the fronts. The fronts should be in sync with each other, however, and so should the shoulders.
Next row [WS]: Work Latticed Diamond Cable Right, p to 1 before pattern marker, work Latticed Diamond Cable Right, p to 2 before next pattern marker, p next st with its shadow, flip next st from knit to purl, leaving it on left needle, work Latticed Diamond Cable Left, p to 2 before neckline marker, work Latticed Diamond Cable Left.
This completes the yoke/superstructure.
Notes on the Armscye and Neckline Shaping
In the next row you will begin two increase patterns; the one that shapes the neckline and the one that shapes the armscyes. The two increase sequences do not work in sync with each other: The paired neckline increases occur every 16[11, 8, 7, 7, 5, 5] rows (so in some cases they will be worked on WS); the sets of 4 armscye increases occur in every RS row. Happily, however, they all end more or less at the same time.
The armscye is shaped in three stages - the first 2 sets of increases add stitches to the body circumference; then the line of increases changes directions and adds stitches to the sleeve circumference; another change of directions adds stitches to the body and forms the underarm curve - a total of 24[28, 32, 35, 38, 40, 43] sets of armscye increases. At the same time you'll be working a total of 4[6, 9, 11, 12, 17, 18] sets of neckline increases. Both armscye and neckline increases begin in Row 1.
Armscye/Neckline Shaping:
Row 1 [RS]: Work Latticed Cable Diamond Left to neckline marker, k1 tbl, m1L, k to pattern marker, m1R, sm, work sts 2-23 of Latticed Cable Diamond Left, sm, m1L, k across back to next pattern marker, m1R, sm, work sts 2-23 of Latticed Cable Diamond Right, sm, m1L, k to 1 before neckline marker, m1R, k1 tbl, work sts 2-23 of Latticed Cable Diamond Right row. 6 sts added -- these are the first neckline and armscye increases.

In this section the increases forming the armscye continue, but they change direction; the neckline increases continue as before without interruption. You will work a total of 8[10, 10, 12, 13, 13, 14] more sets of armscye increases. Note that for Size XS only, the first row of this sequence includes increases for both neckline and armscye.

Work as left sleeve, substituting Latticed Cable Diamond Right for Latticed Cable Diamond Left.
Band/Collar
Cut the steek, straight up the middle (the seed stitch provides a clean cutting line).
The band/collar is a long wide band of 1x1 Twisted Rib (k1 tbl, p1 tbl) that begins at the bottom inside edge of the right front and runs parallel to the fabric of the sweater, attaching around the cut edge of the front at the end of every odd-numbered row; when it reaches the yoke it curves around the neck, then follows on down the inside edge of the left front until it reaches the bottom edge and is bound off. The attach points are worked into every other row of the sweater fabric as you work up the steek, by picking up and working a stitch through the fabric and then decreasing it out, capturing the cut edge in the process.
Using the long-tail cast-on, CO 29.
Row 1 [RS]: [K1 tbl, p1 tbl] to last st, sl 1 pwise wyib, pick up and knit 1 st through edge of sweater fabric by inserting needle between the two stockinette sts at the near edge of the cable panel and pulling a loop of working yarn through, work an ssk through the slipped st and the new st.
Row 2 [WS]: Sl 1 pwise wyif, [k1 tbl, p1 tbl] to end.
Row 3 [RS]: Sl 1 pwise wyib, [k1 tbl, p1 tbl] to last st, pick up and knit 1 st through edge of sweater fabric 2 rows up from the previous attachment, by inserting needle between the two stockinette sts at the near edge of the cable panel and pulling a loop of working yarn through, work an ssk through the slipped st and the new st.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 for band until you get to the top of the cut steek.
At this point, the edge of the front begins to curve back toward the yoke; to adjust for the angle make your next two attach points closer to each other, in consecutive rows instead of every other row.
From this point forward you are working with a selvedge instead of a cut edge, but you will continue to pick up stitches as before between the two stockinette stitches at the edge of the cable panel.
Go back to picking up sts every other row until you reach the shoulder yoke. For the next few rows, until you reach the turning point at the back of the neck, you'll be working perpendicular to the sweater fabric instead of parallel; adjust your attach ratio accordingly so the fabric of the band continues to lie flat next to that of the sweater. At the turning point, work your next three attach points in consecutive rows, to create ease at the turn.
You're now working parallel to the fabric again, going across the back of the neck and attaching into the uppermost edge of the back yoke. Continue picking up every other row until the turning point; At the turning point, work your next three attach points in consecutive rows, to create ease at the turn Continue working down the left side, Work parallel down to the turning point. At the turning point, work your next two attach points in consecutive rows; then work parallel down to the bottom edge, working attach points every other row. When you reach the lower edge, BO in pattern. Pockets
The pockets are worked perpendicular to the fabric of the sweater.
Note: I've placed them immediately adjacent to the cabled band, and forsizes XS-L this is the only possible placement, as they fill the entire space between the cabled band and the faux seam. For sizes XL-3Xthere is some wiggle room, and if you prefer to offset the pocket slightly from the cable band or place it adjacent to the seam you can do so by adjusting the insertion point for the row of picked-up stitches, by as much as -[-, -, -, 0.5, 1.5, 2.5] inches; alternatively you can choose to make the pocket wider if you prefer.)
Left Pocket
Using a tapestry needle or crochet hook, at bottom left corner of Latticed Diamond Cable Left, between the two leftmost knitted sts, just above the hem edge, pull the end of a new ball of yarn through the fabric from RS to WS.
Pull 24 inches of yarn through to the WS; using this 24-inch tail and a DPN or circular needle, and working with RS facing, begin picking up and knitting stitches through the fabric along the line between the same two columns of knitted stitches. You'll pick up a total of 37 stitches through 45 rows, so the ratio is not quite 1:1 - pick up 1 st per row, but skip a row now and then, beginning with the 4th st picked up and then every 8th st picked up after that. When you have 37 sts picked up, slide the needle to the left; you're going to begin working the pocket with a RS row, starting at the point where the working yarn is hooked through the fabric.
The bottom edge of the pocket is attached into the sweater fabric, just above the hem, at the beginning of each RS row, and here the ratio is reversed; you'll make attach-points into two stitches out of every three. Row 1 [RS]: K17, work Small Latticed Diamond Left, (p1 tbl, k1 tbl) twice.
Row 2 [WS]: Sl 1 pwise wyif, k1 tbl, p1 tbl, k1 tbl, work Small Latticed Diamond Left, p to end.
Row 3 [RS]: Sl 1, pick up and knit 1 st through fabric just above hem section, work ssk on slipped st and new st, k16, work Small Latticed Diamond Left, (p1 tbl, k1 tbl) twice.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until the pocket is 4.5[5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8, 8, 8] inches wide, ending on a WS row. For sizes XS-L this will bring you to the edge of the Ringlet Stitch "seam"; you're now going to bind off the pocket, simultaneously attaching it into the fabric just to the right of the Ringlet Stitch line.
Work the bind-off as follows: Sl 1, [pick up and knit 1 st through sweater fabric, ssk using the picked up st and the st already on right needle] rep until all sts are bound off; break yarn, thread through last st and pull snug.
Right Pocket
Using a tapestry needle or crochet hook, at bottom right corner of Latticed Diamond Cable Right, between the two rightmost knitted sts, just above the hem edge pull the end of a new ball of yarn through the fabric from RS to WS. Pull 24 inches of yarn through to the WS; using this 24-inch tail and a DPN or circular needle, and working with RS facing. begin picking up and knitting stitches through the fabric along the line between the same two columns of knitted stitches. You'll pick up a total of 32[34, 37, 40, 40, 40, 40] stitches through 45 rows, so the ratio is not quite 1:1 - pick up 1 st per row, but skip a row now and then, beginning with the 4th st picked up and then every 8th st picked up after that. When you have picked up all the sts, slide the needle to the left; you're going to begin working the pocket with a WS row, starting at the point where the working yarn comes up through the fabric.
The bottom edge of the pocket is attached into the sweater fabric, just above the hem, at the end of each RS row, and here the aspect ratio is reversed; you'll make attach-points into two stitches out of every three.
Row 1 [WS]: P17, work Small Latticed Diamond Left, (k1 tbl, p1 tbl) twice.
Row 2 [RS]: Sl 1 pwise wyib, p1 tbl, k1 tbl, p1 tbl, work Small Latticed Diamond Right, k to last st, sl 1, pick up and knit 1 st through fabric just above hem section, work ssk on slipped st and new st.
Row 3 [RS]: Sl 1, p16, work Small Latticed Diamond Left, (k1 tbl, p1 tbl) twice.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until the pocket is 4.5[5.5, 6.5, 7.5, 8, 8, 8] inches wide, ending on a RS row. Forsizes XS-L this will bring you to the edge of the Ringlet Stitch "seam"; you're now going to bind off the pocket, simultaneously attaching it into the fabric just to the right of the Ringlet Stitch line.
Bind off as follows: Sl 1, [pick up and knit 1 st through sweater fabric, ssk using the picked up st and the st already on right needle], rep until all sts are bound off; break yarn, thread through last st and pull snug. |

FINISHING
Weave in ends. Trim any straggly ends from the cut edges of the steek, and fulling them a little first if necessary; if you wash the sweater in hot water before blocking, you can use a little extra soap and apply a little friction to any spots that appear vulnerable. |
