Introduction
The Dos Corrientes Pullover is an ode to the way the world is opening up nowadays, and the need we have as human beings to belong somewhere. This is represented by the cables in the pattern. They go in different directions, yet they collide and converge in their own unique way, just like each and every single one of us, with out own stories of where we come from and where we are going.

The Dos Corrientes Pullover is worked in four pieces (back, front and two sleeves) flat and bottom up. The front features a Fisherman’s Rib cable formed by two opposing basic ropes in the bottom, and later are slowly separated. All pieces are worked in Fisherman’s Rib stitch.

Both front and back have a dropped shoulder classic silhouette, with a length reaching a couple inches below the waist for a cropped look.
The mock turtle neck is created by binding off the shoulders and continue working the neck in the front and back.

The sleeves are worked straight.
Once all pieces are knitted, the front and back are seamed by the shoulders and neck. Then the sleeves are joined, and finally the sides and sleeves are seamed.

To Bind Off the neck of both front and back, use the Yarn over Bind Off technique.
