Pattern description from Knitting in America: “For this unisex pullover, Deborah experimented with asymmetry and with juxtaposing dissimilar cables. Of the two main cables, one is very soft, round, and textured and the other is angular and confined-looking. Also note the raglan seamlines: one is cabled, the other looks like a textured checkerboard. Deborah chose Reynolds Candide yarn because she likes its rough, rustic look and the heathery color range that is both bright and soft at the same time. The pattern for this sweater appears on page 181.”
