Cavanaugh Pullover
A gift for my fiancee, available in women’s and men’s sizes.
Cavanaugh is a saddle shoulder cabled pullover. The front, back and sleeves are worked back and forth in flat knitting and seamed. Don’t be afraid of seaming, as it adds long lasting durability to this design.

Notes
- The pullover is worked in pieces and seamed. The first stitch of each row of the body and sleeves is worked in knit stitch so that seaming is easier.
- The neckband is picked up and worked circularly after partial garment assembly.
- The cable pattern is both charted and written- choose which format you prefer to follow.
- Work RS rows of chart from left to right, and WS rows from right to left.
- Pattern is written for the smallest size, with larger sizes in parenthesis. If only one number is given, it applies to all sizes.
