The Free Falling Pullover is a beautiful and stylish knitting pattern that showcases unique and wandering cable designs, feminine shaping, and a casual, comfortable appeal. This fitted pullover features two striking central cables that travel down the front, elegantly divided by intricate seed stitch, and framed by smooth stockinette stitch on the sides.

This luxurious yarn will ensure your pullover is both warm and soft against your skin.
