The Olympic Pullover is the classic unisex gansey sweater that’s been missing from your everyday wardrobe. Its lushly cabled yoke adds interest and cozy warmth, while basic stockinette makes this sweater simple enough for everyday wear. Traditional dropped shoulders and generously sized arms make this sweater comfy and practical. Worked in Simply Wool Worsted, the Olympic Pullover will stand the test of time, becoming that favorite sweater, an heirloom that you reach for again and again.

The Olympic Pullover is knit flat in pieces, then seamed. The front and back are worked flat from the top down, then seamed at the shoulders. Sleeves are worked flat, from the shoulders down and sewn in place at the shoulders. Stitch patterns are charted.
