                          Jenna Adorno    Blaze a new trail. Forget all you 
                            know about bulky boxy arans -- this fresh, modern 
                            design is meant to cling to your curves like no cable 
                            sweater you have ever seen before. No more bobbles 
                            or braids, this allover zigzag inspiration is knit 
                            completely in the round with minimal finishing.  This modern aran sweater, knit totally in the 
                            round, has a unique seamless construction that requires 
                            minimal finishing. The body and sleeves are all knit 
                            in separate "tubes" and then joined together 
                            at the underarm with kitchener stitch and decreased 
                            at the neck. The zigzag is uninterrupted at the join 
                            and underarm making a clingy modern silhouette. |

 IMPORTANT: Take note of which pattern round you 
                                end on, and write it down! The sleeves will have 
                                to end on the same pattern round.
 
 Next round: Slip 9[9, 9, 12, 12, 12]

                                [7.5, 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5] inches.
 IMPORTANT: Make sure you 
                                end with the same patt round the body ended with. 
                                This is much more important than the sleeves being 
                                the right length, as it will ensure that the cable 
                                patt flows smoothly into the yoke of the sweater. Last Round: Sl 9[9,

                                is sitting at the left back, just before where 
                                the sleeve is to be joined. Place a marker on 
                                the needle and, beg at this point and cont with 
                                next row of Cable Patt, work across 54 [60, 66, 
                                66, 72, 78] sts of left sleeve, 75 [87, 99, 117,

                                18[19, 20, 21, 22, 23] inches.
 IMPORTANT: To continue, 
                                it is important that your next round begins with 
                                4 purl sts (last round ends with 2 knit sts). 
                                If this is not the case, remove the marker and 
                                place it just after the last pair of knit sts 
                                you worked. This is now the beginning of your
