A braided cable tapers as it climbs the front of this comfortable pullover and forks at the deep V-neck to form a stylish collar. A gentle A-line and a split ribbed hem create a relaxed fit, but set-in sleeves and the intriguing neckline lend polish to take you from the garden to the market to the office. Arvid is worked from the bottom up in the round after the hem, but the sleeves are knit flat and sewn in. The collar is worked together with the sweater front, then extended and seamed along the back neck.

CONSTRUCTION

The ribbings for the front and back are worked separately, then joined and the body is worked in the round to the underarms. The fronts and back are worked separately to the shoulders. The cables on the front are continued, joined at the back neck, and sewn to the back neck as a collar. The sleeves are worked flat.
