Cable Car Tracks
This pattern is no longer available for purchase. It has been revised and updated and is now available as A Cable Runs Through It
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.
