For a great three-seasons piece, look no farther than the Hederated Sweater. Knitted in a superwash Merino wool, this pullover is worked in the round from the bottom up to the V-neck. The entire body is then worked back and forth to the underarms, beginning and ending at the center-front neck. After that, the back and fronts are each worked separately back and forth. An allover lace pattern makes this pullover both cozy and breathable.
