PATTERN INFORMATION
The pattern was updated on January 28, 2024: I changed the recommended yarn to Miss Babs Yowza.

September Walk is a relaxed, seamless pullover worked from the top, made in a combination of an interesting cable stitch pattern and 2x1 rib. The sweater is easy to customize: you can make it long or short, a little loose or truly oversized, with a regular neckband or a turtleneck (instructions for different body lengths and neck finishing options are included in the pattern). The cable pattern is presented in both chart and written format.
