Saddle sleeves meet sculptural cables in a pullover that balances structure and ease. Modified drop shoulders create a relaxed silhouette, while slip-stitch cables bring a sense of movement and depth to the fabric.
The texture on the body is framed with classic ribbing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem. At the bottom edge, deep ribbing is finished with small side slits for comfort and a contemporary look. The mix of smooth stockinette above the bust and sleeves with the bold texture of the lower body creates a clean contrast that highlights the stitchwork.

Notes
• This pullover is worked from the top down. The saddle shoulders are worked back and forth from the neckline edge towards the armhole edge, then stitches for the back and fronts are picked up along the long sides of the saddles and worked back and forth to the underarm. The pieces then joined and the lower body is worked in the round to the lower edge. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole and the sleeves are worked from the top down in the round.
