The wide strands of a prominent braided cable twist their way up the front of the Lambent Pullover and flow seamlessly into the vintage-style collar. The body of the sweater is worked back and forth in one piece to the underarms, and then the front and two sides of the back are worked separately. The body is seamed at the center back, leaving a sweet keyhole opening fastened by a button at the back of the neck.
