This pullover is about LOVE!
When I worked this pullover I realized how much the cables reminded me about my sisters and how close I am with them, how we give eachother support, protection. Look at the cables in the pullover and you will see what I mean!
The color enhances the feeling, and what’s more: it is absolutely LOVE-ly to wear! Incredibly soft, even next to the skin, simpleness that goes with everything, an eyecatcher that makes you shine through the day!

As my siters and I all have different looks and personalities I wanted to make 3 different cables: they are all built up on the same amount of stiches, and they are cabled on the same row, but still they are different. Since they are built on the same amount of stiches you could stay true to pattern or play around, using only one or two of the cables, or making them change place.
The knitting of this gorgeous sweater was a true pleasure.
I know that cables always look intricate and difficult, but these are the simplest possible to make. The pullover is knitted bottom-up in seperate parts: sleeves, back and front. Seamed together, and then stiches are picked up around the neck for collar. If you prefer to make it in the round it should be no problem.
I used the DK alpaca from Artesano working this pullover. To me it was a new experience, and I can easily place this wool on my top-tree list! I truly recommend it! If you like, you can choose a similar alpaca, merino, cashmere - as long as you stay true to gauge.
This pullover is a tribute to my sisters: <3<3<3
