The Ferry Building pullover is a slightly-cropped, drop-shouldered pullover featuring a graphic cable motif around the bottom hem. Finished with ribbed sleeves and a dramatic cowl neck, the sweater has a modern, easy-to-wear silhouette that pairs well with pants and skirts alike. Short rows give the hem the slightest hint of a flattering, youthful, high-low curve.

The sweater is worked in pieces and seamed, with minimal shaping below the underarms. Increases along the armhole subtly angle the sleeves, while sloped bind-offs shape and anchor the shoulders. After the sweater is seamed, stitches are picked up from the neckline and the cowl neck is knit in the round.
