This pullover is named Thandeka, a Zulu name meaning, “Loved One/Lovable”. There is so much to love about this pullover. It is a very easy construction; knit from the bottom up, in the round. There is no sleeve shaping (drop shoulder sleeves) and no neck shaping (boat neck). The pullover is very versatile and can be worn with jeans, formal pants and dresses and the simple garter and cable pattern is engaging enough to keep the knitter entertained while working on the project and simple enough to require just the minimum attention.
