Errata: In the chart key, the wrapped stitch (the 3rd symbol from the top) is worked on WS rows, so you should work the stitches from the cable needle as follows: k1, (p1tbl) 2 times, k1.

Twisted stitches make the cables in the intricate body pattern of the Flexuous Pullover pop off the background. The front and longer back are worked in pieces from the bottom up and seamed, leaving vents open at either side of the ribbed hem. The sleeves, worked in simple stockinette, are picked up at the armholes and worked in the round.
