A richly cabled pullover that is coziness itself, with a lot of style. The modular construction begins with the yoke worked flat from armhole to armhole with shoulder and neck shaping. Stitches for the lower body are picked up for the body, knit seamlessly in the round from the top down. 
Relaxed in fit yet rich in detail, the pullover features dropped shoulders, voluminous sleeves tapering into deep ribbed cuffs, and matching ribbing at the hem and neckline.

Notes

- The yoke is worked flat, side-to-side, from the right armhole to the neck hole with right shoulder shaping. At the beginning of the neck opening, the yoke is separated into back and front pieces and worked separately to the opposite side of the neck. Then both back and front yokes are joined, and yoke is worked as one piece again to the left armhole with left shoulder shaping.

​

- Stitches for the body are picked up from the yoke’s lower edges and worked in the round from the top down.
