Pattern Description from Interweave Online Store:
This sleek cabled pullover by Shirley Paden is worked in an ingenious mannerits knitted in one piece from hem to hem, then seamed along the sides and down the sleeves.

In a silky, beautiful tweed and subtle allover cable stitch, Shirleys contoured sweater is a lovely example of knitted elegance.
