Shifting Ribs Pullover by Therese Chynoweth

Worked mostly in one color, the body and sleeves actually do work up pretty quickly. Adding the syncopated two-color section in the middle of the chest and at the sleeve cuffs breaks up the rhythm a bit while giving you a chance to work with two colors at a time without needing to strand the unused color across the back. At first you do need to pay some attention to which stitches are slipped and which stitches are knit or purled, but the pattern soon takes on a pace and rhythm of its own.

Honeycomb Pullover by Ashwini Jambhekar

This man features an all-over cable pattern worked on a stockinette background instead of the more typical reverse stockinette, yielding a subtle but texturally interesting fabric. The accent cables on each side of the neck mimic the circular design of the all-over pattern. All cable crossings are worked in a single row, resulting in 5 rest rows of stockinette between cable rows. As a result, the sweater progresses more quickly than you might expect for a piece with all-over cables.
