This striking pullover combines highly defined cables and wide stripes of contrasting color for maximum effect!

The columns of cables taper towards the top, creating lots of visual interest.

​

The body of this pullover is worked in one piece to the underarm, then the back and front are worked separately and joined at the shoulders with 3-Needle Bind-Off. Stitches for sleeves are picked up around the armholes and sleeves are worked in the round from the top down.
