Designed to feel as good as it looks, the Nesting Cables Pullover is a cozy, comforting knit with beautiful texture throughout. Flowing cables create a layered, nestled look, while two yarns held together give the fabric a plush, warming feel. It’s the sweater you’ll grab for cool days and relaxed moments.

The body and sleeves of this pullover are worked in the round from the bottom up, then joined to work the yoke. The yoke is shaped with both decreasing cables and raglan decreases. One strand of each yarn is held together throughout.
