This top down sweater is way easier than it looks, Maybe advanced beginner.
The self striping Amazing is doing most of the heavy lifting, with the colorwork, alternating a few simple stitch patterns around the yoke and bodice, creates a lovely Nordic inspired yoke. The large 8mm hook makes this very fast to make, and the lighter fabric created makes it drape beautifully. The stitches are just tight enough to be warm, and modest, while still “breathing”. The ribbed bottom hem is gently scooped, and flatteringly dips a little lower in the back.

There are lots of pictures and detailed step by step directions, this is definitely the most comprehensive pattern I’ve written so far.

Enjoy!
