I Love, Love , Love this Pattern

The cutest baby cable pattern ever!
At first the project looked daunting, cables everywhere and a shawl collar. But don’t worry, you can do it. ​
 I can’t tell you how many of these sweaters I’ve knitted, really! But in the beginning,  the pattern scared me. 

So, when I get confused or intimidated about a new pattern, I break it down. If I’ve read a pattern numerous times, but still can’t envision the final product, I just knit the pattern row by row.
 
Literally.
 
If the pattern reads K3, p2, k4
I look at the pattern, then knit 3
I look at the pattern, then purl 2
I look at the pattern, then knit 4
Look at the pattern. . .you get the idea.
 
Row by row slows you down a bit, but makes it so much easier and builds your confidence in working thru the project! But the shawl collar . . .well. . .after all these years, I still haven’t quite figured out how that works. It’s magic!

You can knit this pattern using any color.

And the collar doesn't have to be knit using the same yarn, just the same gauge
Picture
And you can use any weight yarn!
The other tip I can give you is keep track of your rows! I usually make myself tick boxes, and mark off each row I’ve knit. It makes it so much easier when you are watching TV. 
Picture
Each tick box represents a sweater! See, I've knit plenty of them!
I hope you enjoy this free pattern from Lion Brand Yarn!
