This pullover begins with a vertical cable strip
which wraps around the chest, and then the
body and yoke are picked up and knitted on. The
overlapped boat neck insures an easy on/off fit.
Pair it with the matching beanie and it becomes
a great fall sweater set.

This design was test knit by enabler
