This sweater is a great addition to any wardrobe. It can be worn year-round for any occasion. The relaxed fit and drop-down shoulders are comfortable and flattering.
The Flame Chevron Pattern is memorable and fun to knit, maybe even addictive. Since there is not much shaping interrupting the repetitive lace pattern, it is a relatively fast and easy knit despite the small gauge. The sweater is worked flat from the bottom in pieces and then seamed.
Difficulty: medium but needs attention.
Techniques: long-tail cast-on, increasing and decreasing, yarn-overs, binding off, picking up stitches.
