Stormy Billows has an unique cable and rib pattern that undulates and billows in and out. Semi-reversible, the opposite side has broken sections of ribs.

Masculine enough for men, but still great for women!

Shown in a slightly fuzzy single ply yarn, but would look awesome in a substitute, from a smooth wool to a wool/silk blend.

Skill level: moderately easy, k & p, keeping track of rows
