A warm, weekend sweater for wearing on lazy Sunday mornings. It’s simple to do, is worked mostly in the round, and is suitable for beginners.

The wearer will appreciate the saddle-sleeve shoulders which give a comfortable fit, and the round neck which doesn’t fit too closely.

How it’s made
The body is worked bottom-up in the round, and divided for the front and back, where the work continues in rows.

The sleeves are also worked bottom-up in the round as far as the sleeve head, where the work continues in rows.

Shoulder and armhole seaming is all that’s needed.
