Timeless tweed plus clever cabling equals an instant classic in the Romola pullover by Norah Gaughan. Millstone tweed has the rustic look of tweed with the soft feel of modern fibers, and it is a great match for cables with its sharp stitch definition. Romola is knit flat in pieces from the bottom up with seams joining the shoulders. Sleeve stitches are picked up along the armhole edge and knit flat to the cuff. A foldover turtleneck is the perfect finishing touch to this cozy sweater, ensuring that you or a lucky knitworthy person in your life will be warm and comfortable even as the weather cools. Cable pattern is charted only.
