Rustic wool and cables go together perfectly in the nearly seamless Pinyon Pullover. Asymmetrical cable patterning keeps things interesting, while bobbles add a touch of whimsy. The body of this pullover is worked in the round from the lower edge to the underarm, and stitches for the sleeves are picked up and worked from the top down.
