About The Design:
This design uses a simple-to-work twisted cable pattern for most of the sweater.

The Norwegian style design at the bodice in Crimson gives interest and uplifts the eye from the lower part of the sweater, whose fit is eased by a slight A-line of approx. a 3” difference in circumference between bodice and hips.

This shaping detail makes for a ribbed lower edge that is slimming with it’s strong vertical line and non-hugging dimensions!

In addition, there are 2 v-neck depth options: a high v-neck, as shown in photo, and a more relaxed, deeper v-neck.

I used purled steeks to create the armholes and while working the neck shaping, so the pullover can be made entirely in the round.
