This wonderfully soft and lightweight sweater is easy and quick to create without the stranded colorwork. The sensitive mesh pattern consists of narrow stripes and slipped loops. I got the inspiration by the beautiful wooden roof of an old church we once saw on a frosty autumn morning.

Paanu is worked from the bottom to up. First the body is worked in the round from lower edge to underarms, then the sleeves are worked in the same way. The parts are joined for the yoke, which is worked in the round in the charted pattern. Short rows area added to shape the neckline.
