Description
Ari Pullover
The Ari Pullover is designed to exploit the silky, breathy characteristics of Weld by Hudson + West. Worked to a relatively open gauge, this simple raglan pullover is airy yet structured. Candy twist cables flow along the sleeves, then devolve into ribbing at the cuff. A wide neckline sports a deep cowl collar that echoes the 2×2 ribbed structure of the cables. The shape is boxy and the length is just above the hip keeping the silhouette neat and modern.
The Ari Pullover is easy to knit. It is worked from the top down and uses classic raglan shaping. The cowl collar is worked in the round from stitches picked up at the neck edge. The cable pattern is charted.
