Interweave SKU: EP1034

Pattern Description from Interweave Knits, Spring 2001:
The simple cables, lace and bobbles that cover this textured pullover create a misleading - but impressive - look of complexity. Simultaneously smooth, lustrous, lofty and elastic, the silk-wool yarn yields an elegant-rustic look that can be dressed up or down. The sweater front and back are worked from the lower edge upward, with stitches decreased at the waist to form a peplum; the sleeves are worked separately from cuff to armhole; the center cable motif extends into the stand-up neck.
