This is a seamless sweater knitted top-down in the round and shaped with the raglan technique. It has two antler cables - one on the front and one on the back - with smooth transitions from the cables into the ribbing. I recommend DK-weight cotton yarn, which makes this an all-seasons sweater that looks professional AND is machine washable!
