“Chunky yarns, cables and a ribbed stitch pattern take on unexpected grace and elegance when matched with some easy openwork lace for this comfortable, casual, oversized pullover. Designer Kathy Zimmerman explains that she wanted to couple the slightly shiny, large-gauge wool (knitted here on size 10.5 needles) with equally bold stitchwork, especially because the yarn holds the sculptural quality of the stitchwork so well.”
