What a statement a big, bold cable can make! In the Olivia Sweater, a jumbo triple ribbed cable is deeply etched into a field of stockinette tracing a serpentine path from neck to hem. This strong central motif plays off against a completely clean backdrop of flat stitches where seamless yoke shaping is worked silently in.

The Olivia Sweater makes a bold statement by intertwining multiple parallel cables. This seamless-yoke sweater is worked in the round from the top down.
