Friendship Pullover

Designed for Fiber Flock Festival, the Friendship Pullover features an alluring center cable panel flowing from ribbing at the hem, and into ribbing at the end. The cables meet other cables and criss-cross like streams along the way, symbolizing the interconnected nature of our knitting community. A tapered sleeve lends a sporty and modern vibe to this classic look, while the optional foldover funnel neckband makes it extra stylish. Alternately, knit the neckband as a standard crew or a full length funnel as some of my testers did. The resulting sweater is so easy to wear and style anywhere you go. Knit this sweater to wear throughout fiber festival seasons, or to knit nights in at your LYS. I hope to see you at the festival! > For a complete preview of the pattern including schematics, download PDF [here][1]. > [Join my newsletter][2] and keep up with all the latest sales codes, pattern news and test calls, as well as exclusive sneak peeks. **Sizes** Sizes A (B, C, D) (E, F, G) (H, I, J), for actual upper chest measurements of 31 (34.25, 37.5, 40.75) (44, 47.25, 50.5) (53.75, 57, 60.25)” / 77.5 (85.5, 94, 102) (110, 118, 126.5) (134.5, 142.5, 150.5) cm.
