Two lovely yarns join to create one stunning sweater. The body and sleeves are worked in a gullwing, repeating cable pattern, using one strand each of a cotton/wool blend and a laceweight silk/wool yarn. The neck and cuffs are picked up and knit using only the heavier yarn, then an overcollar is knit in lace with the silk and wool. In skin-flattering pinks, this double-layer pullover will become a favorite wardrobe item.
