This classic sweater has set-in sleeves, a standard fit, and the timeless appeal of argyle. The pattern includes two charts for the color work, one scaled for smaller sizes and one for larger.

The argyle motif appears on the front only. The back piece is solid. You’ll get plenty of argyle goodness without the sorrow involved in trying to match the design at the side seams.

Yarn
Elann Superwash Worsted, 11 (12, 13, 14, 14, 15, 16) skeins in Jet Black (MC)

1 (1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1) skein in Pewter (CC2)

Note: I used a light worsted yarn which gave me a gauge closer to a DK weight yarn. You can use either light worsted or DK weight, as long as you get gauge. Knit Picks Swish is a suitable substitute.
