Notes

This color combo inspired me to knit an old school letterman sweater, thus it is called Scholar. Here, I have hidden most of the red yarn inside using folded hems. The folded hems provide extra support for the completely seem-less sweater.

Scholar is knitted bottom up, so that the folded hems are easy to incorporate. The pockets are after-thought, again with a folded hem on the front. In all fairness, the pocket is tacked down (but not a real seam). The button band is also folded, with a three needle bind-off. Because it is folded, I made after-thought buttonholes to accommodate the two laters.

The buttons are also from Acorn Street Shop. There is a tiny red sheep on the bottom button, just to balance the color ;) Overall, I love my Acorn Street Sweater. It is so comfortable!
