Construction
This pullover is worked seamlessly in the round from the top down. A modified rib is worked at the collar so that increases and cable panels flow neatly from the rib. The stranded textured yoke is worked with gradual increases between the cable panels. Sts are held for sleeves, and knitting continues down the body. Sleeves are then worked in the round from the top down.
