The design of this classic cabled pullover for men and women in 12 sizes (XS to 2X) and [3X to 8X] is the stuff of seafaring fables, with its strong vertical arrangement of cables and textured panels. Knit from hem to neck and seamed for lifelong durability, the design features a modified drop shoulder with cabled saddle and a generous round neckline finished with ribbing. Deeply textured throughout with a slightly oversized fit for easy layering, it is delightfully lacking in bulk when knit in a lofty natural DK or heavy sport yarn.Substituting yarn and/or needles may result in an overall variation in size, drape, and yardage requirement.
