A stunning classic sweater with a texture that soothes like a mantra.
Level ●●●○○ (3 / 5)
How to work the knitwear: The sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. First, cast on stitches for the back neck and work them flat to the underarm. Then, pick up the stitches for both fronts, join them, and work the front in the same way as the back. Join the work in the round and work to the hem. Next, work the sleeves. Finally, work the collar as desired.
