Rivulet is inspired by the beauty of geometry. What’s not to love about the order, precision and symmetry of geometric shapes? Strategically-placed cable stitches form converging lines that meet to create this modern, wearable knit. Worked from the bottom up, this modified drop-shoulder pullover begins with a 3 × 3 ribbing, providing the perfect way in to a variety of cables on a stockinette background. Short rows, at the shoulder and top of sleeves, provide shaping while reducing bulk at the underarm, resulting in cleaner lines and a comfortable fit.
