I love how cables help shape a garment. The gently sloping
V-neck is formed by following the flow of the traveling cables
of the upper front. Although, technically, a straight body, Adobe Pullover has a hint of waist shaping thanks to the carefully placed double cables. Worked from the top down and in the round, this design is completely seamless. It is a fun and quite quick knit. All cables are fully charted.
