A faux cable in your raglan increase


Sister sweater with twisted rib and a faux cable in the raglan increase

 

You can vary your knitting in countless ways. It gives your work personality and variety. A faux cable  - like here in Hedvig's Sister Sweater - is a super nice and feminine twist to a good and usable everyday sweater.

When designing the sweater, choose 4 stitches in the raglan stripe, and instead of just knitting the 4 stitches straight down over the yoke - try this cable type pattern out instead:
