The Rundstrom uses different textures and colors to accentuate your natural shape. This pullover is worked from the bottom-up in pieces. It has set-in long sleeves that are picked up and worked top-down using short rows, once the body panels are seamed. Circular cables are worked along the front and back body panels with the side panels worked in ribbing to provide custom waist shaping. Crew neck and sleeve cuffs are finished off with ribbing. There are many color combinations possible, or of course, you could use just one color.
