Whirlwind
Whirlwind is knit from the top down seamlessly in Stockinette Stitch with a ribbed cable at the center back waist. The cable is an interesting detail that also provides waist shaping. The stitches for the collar are picked up and then worked in a knit and purl pattern with an optional buttonhole.
