The traces left by skiers climbing uphill became the inspiration for this pullover. The front of this raglan sweater shows three columns of chevron cables: one in the center points up and two on the sides are pointing down. The wide chevron motifs are divided by columns of simple cables to create visual interest. The sleeves are worked in stockinette stitch.
