The Sawyer pullover is a classic cabled pullover with a unisex fit. The stitch pattern is easy to memorize and features sections of cables and moss stitch. The cuffs and neckband are folded double for a finished look. The cuffs and hem are knit using an optional Tubular Cast On which provides a stretchy cast on edge.

The body is worked in the round from the hem upwards until the armholes, after which the front and the back are worked separately. The sleeves are worked in the round from the cuff upwards. The neckband is picked up from the body and worked in the round.

Note that the cable patterns are charted only!
