Amanda sweater is a simple, romantic design with a loose and comfortable fit.
The sweater has puffy sleeves and rows of caliper cables, giving the sweater an interesting surface and breaking up the stockinette stitches to give the sweater a nice texture.

The sweater is knitted top down and the yoke is explained by charts and written instructions.
