Cattleya Pullover
The variegated merino-nylon yarn does most of the visual work in the top-down, seamless Cattleya Pullover, giving different knitters diverse color-pooled results. The boxy pullover calls for a tubular cast-on and a subtle slip-stitch colorwork motif that adorns the circular yoke and cuffs.
