Bold Quarry yarn and minimalist cables merge to form the Undertow pullover. Simply constructed from the bottom up and knit in the round, Undertow’s interesting yet uncomplicated shape belies its flattering wearability. Left and right cable crosses worked at the yoke add texture and intrigue without overwhelming the silhouette of this pleasant sweater.
