This is a quick and easy knit worked flat from the top down. The textured circular yoke is worked and then separated for the arms. The body is then completed and then the sleeves are picked up and knitted in the round.

If you’d prefer a machine washable version, Malabrigo also do a superwash worsted weight yarn in an array of beautiful colours, or you can of course substitued for any worsted weight yarn.
