Open cables and bands of garter made me think of ropes and ladders.
This standard fitting long-sleeve cowl neck pullover is sure to keep you warm and comfy. Only three crossing rounds are worked in each 18-round repeat, giving you time to speed along with knit and purl stitches while still having the fun of working cables.
