The Apato Pullover is a modern top-down sweater that blends clean Stockinette fabric with striking cable panels. The design features bold vertical motifs on the front, framed by simple lines that keep the look balanced and wearable. 

Worked seamlessly from the neckline down, Apato allows easy customization of body and sleeve length while maintaining a polished finish. With its flowing cables and versatile silhouette, this pullover is both engaging to knit and effortless to wear. 

The suggested yarn provides an exceptional stitch definition and is perfectly soft against the skin.
