cable knit sweater

Textured wool garment

A cable knit sweater is a knitted garment featuring raised, intertwined patterns that resemble twisted rope or braided cables.

The technique originated in Irish and Scottish fishing communities.

Cable knit suggests chunky, warm, traditional knitwear: She pulled on a thick cable knit sweater against the November chill.
