Bert Mens Sweater
This pattern is of intermediate difficulty.
This sweater is worked in the round from the bottom, in one piece. Sleeves are first worked separately, then joined at the armpit, with the sweater then finished in one piece, with a cabled saddle shoulder, extending across the back and joined in the centre back. The neckband is worked in rib, folded over, and cast off then joined to the original pick-up round. This is sized to fit comfortably over a shirt or t-shirt, but not to be loose fitting, so please check the garment size measurements if you prefer a looser fit.
