Pattern Information

Palomar Top
Designed by Aubrey Busek

Palomar, named after a type of knot, features all the lovely twists you’d expect to see in nautical rope. This sophisticated top features beautiful, undulating cables filled with moss stitch on a background of reverse Stockinette stitch. The crowning feature are the I-Cord ties that decorate each side of the sweater. Palomar is polished and perfect for an upscale boat party or a dockside lunch date.
