Arad Pullover

$9.7 (PDF DOWNLOAD) 

A round yoke of bold, interlocking cables makes this pullover stand out with sculptural detail. The motifs form diamond and chevron shapes that flow into the smooth stockinette of the body and sleeves, creating a striking contrast between texture and simplicity.

Worked seamlessly from the top down, the sweater features a classic crew neckline, long sleeves, and ribbed edges for a polished finish. Arad offers both visual drama in the yoke and easy wearability in the body, making it a versatile piece for everyday layering.
