Vuolle is a Finnish word, meaning a strong torrent in a river. This circular cable yoke pullover incorporates stranded colorwork with cables. Don’t be intimidated: it is much easier to knit than you think. You do not need a cable needle, especially if knitting with slightly rustic yarn. The yoke depth and the length of the pullover are adjustable as Vuolle is worked from the top down.
