Designed by Kate Salomon & Mark Bartholoma

When our dear friend Mark decided he was ready to cast on for his first sweater, we offered to draft a pattern made to order. He had already committed this classic cable pattern to memory (thanks to the handful of scarves he had been making as gifts). And so, the inspiration for this classic rugged pullover started to take shape. Whether or not this sweater is your first, we hope it will soon become a favorite.
