Description

This sleek cabled pullover by Shirley Paden is worked in an ingenious manner. It is knitted in one piece from hem to hem, then seamed along the sides and down the sleeves. Lacking the added bulk of shoulder or armhole seams, it flows gracefully without interruption over the shoulders angles and curves. In a silky, beautiful tweed and subtle allover cable stitch, Shirleys contoured sweater is a lovely example of knitted elegance.
