Description
Explore stripes, stranded colorwork, and a little bit of texture in this boldly patterned sweater with an oversized collar. Body is knit flat in one piece, dividing at the armholes to work the back and fronts separately. Sleeves are knit separately in the round from the bottom up, and joined at the armhole using a three-needle bind-off.
