Perfect for more than just hiking, this pullover is light as air, but cozy. You’ll want to wear this one everywhere!
Work the body in one piece to the armholes, with the cable panel centered on both front and back. Divide the body at the armholes, and work without shaping the armholes until you reach the armhole depth. Bind off stitches in steps to shape the shoulders and provide better support for the shoulder seams.
After sewing the shoulder seams, pick up and knit stitches for the sleeves along the armholes, and work from the armhole down. A shallow sleeve cap is created by working German short-rows for a better fitting sleeve. Narrow garter rib graces the sleeves, which are finished off with some k2, p2 rib.
