The yarn chosen for this pullover is an important decision. The sweater is worn close to the body, so the yarn must be soft. Merino wools and cashmeres are good choices. The yarn must also be a solid or nearly solid, light color so that the center cable shows clearly; avoid any dark or fuzzy yarns.

DESIGNER NOTE: The unique center cable utilizes increases and decreases to move the two bands of 3 over 3 cables over and under each other. Twisted stitches are worked in the yarn over increases to close any gaps.
