Desert Spirit combines all over texture with cabled/garter panels that begin above the side gaps. The cables put an accent on dropped shoulder sleeves by climbing all the way up to the shoulder line.
The pullover is knitted in round, bottom up and almost seamless (seamed only on shoulders). The sleeves are picked up and knitted top down in round. The neckline is picked up and knitted in round as well.

This is an adult version of Forest Fairy pullover.
