Pullover inspired by Chilean fisherman’s sweater, and the ropes used to tie up his boat. Sweater is worked in stranded two-color knitting with the light color as the dominant color. Body is worked in the round to the shoulder line, with steeks for the armhole openings. Front neck shaping is stitched and cut during finishing. Sleeves are worked in the round with facings at the upper edges to cover the raw edges of the steeked armhole openings.
