This sweater was designed as a result of a request from my daughter for a chunky knit, warm, stylish top for her daily commute. She wanted moss/seed stitch included, a band of textured contrast colour on the sleeves and a turtleneck!

This warm, chunky sweater is designed to accommodate several layers as well as a coat on top! It is great for travelling and smart enough to keep on if the workplace is a little chilly!
The sweater has ribbed welts, cuffs and turtleneck, a moss stitch (seed stitch) panel on the front and back and a feature diamond pattern on the sleeves.

The pattern is written in English, including row by row instructions for the diamond patterned section on the sleeves. The sweater is knit flat on two needles with the neckband knit in the round on a circular needle (60cm long). I have also included instructions for knitting the neckband flat. The last page of the pattern lists the abbreviations, so you may not need to print it.
