Comfortable, relaxed, and easy to knit, Thorvaldsen Pullover combines luxuriously soft alpaca yarn with unusual cables and a simple four-piece construction. All four pieces are worked from the top down, which allows for easy customization of the tunic’s length. The interestingly textured cable pattern gives the sweater a modern geometric feel while maintaining the soft, flowing look of classic 3/3 cables. The body is worked in all-over cable pattern and matching cables panels are placed at the center of the sleeves.
