I just finished a really cute, fun sweater: the Tii Pullover designed by Joji Locatelli. Yes, another Joji! When I first saw it, I was intrigued by the ornate cable on the front:
Upon further investigation, I discovered that the cable itself is quite simple.
The two halves (right and left) are knit as separate pieces that are only attached by an inch of knitting at the neck:
The Sweater before Blocking
Then the halves are joined by two long pieces of i-cord:
The front
The Back
Wow! Mind blown!!
I dropped the front neck 10 rows and added a split hem, but otherwise pretty much followed the pattern. I knit it in Lettlopi, which is known for being a very wooly wool. It blocked out beautifully. Not the softest sweater, but I love the feel of it, scrumptious and squishy. This is a winner!!
Can’t wait to finish mine!

Love that light shade of gray and the cable is very interesting.

I’m knitting this too and hadn’t realized until I looked more closely at your project the other day that the neck knitting also connected the pieces; I thought it was just the i-cord.
