Arctic Shadows is a stunning crewneck pullover that embodies casual comfort. With different cables running up each side and shoulder and one sleeve, this sweater is a fresh take on the classic cabled pullover that will be interesting to knit and to wear as well. Knit in Valley Yarns Berkshire, Arctic Shadows is worked in the round from the hem to the underarms, where the front and back are completed separately and seamed together at the shoulders. Sleeves are knit in the round from the bottom up to the knit-flat sleeve cap and are set in during finishing. Cable patterns are both charted and written out.
