Ten sizes with the perfect neckline, sailor stripes and contrasting cuffs. This sweater is made for everyone to enjoy a wonderful July long weekend.

The Canadians will get the party started on July 1st; just add a maple leaf pin. The Americans can keep the party going on July 4th by adding a silver star. In a gesture of diplomacy this Canadian designer has taken American yarn and crafted the perfect sweater for backyard BBQ or fireworks displays.

Knit in the round from the neck down the lace collar starts in red. The short rows interrupt the red to start the stripes. Then the sleeves kick into action by continuing the lace motif while the body is contrasting with a seer sucker stitch. With all this attention to detail the sweater is finished in a short time. So grab your needles and have this done in time for the July long weekend.

Enjoy.
