I have never knit my husband a sweater, but felt with the writing of this book, that omission should be rectified. Arlis was asked to assist in the design process, along with the selection of the yarn. The mitered fabric on the sleeves mimics the chevrons formed by the unique construction of the entrelac body. The final result was so pleasing, a vest version was developed as well.

Other items needed:
