CONSTRUCTION NOTES
The cables do not need to be the same size throughout the entire pullover, but they can be worked in increasingly larger before the cable crossings as progress is made toward the bottom bands. I decided to knit this pullover from the top to the bottom. This is advantageous to adjust both the length of the body portion and the sleeves
