The Vertebrae Pullover is a fun to knit, classic garment that transcends time. It features a beautiful vertebrae-like cable that runs up the front and back which is flanked by smaller cables and the sleeves have a cable running up to the neckline. This pullover is worked seamlessly, in the round, with raglan shaping up the where the v-neck splits, and then the garment is worked seamlessly, back and forth.
Minimal finishing is required, making this garment fairly quick to knit!
