Simplicity meets style in this cozy, Cape Cod Sweater – a timeless essential no closet should be without! The relaxed, drop shoulder construction creates an easy, comfortable fit, while rolled edges at the neckline, hem, and cuffs add a polished finish. Dressed up or dressed down, this versatile sweater is equally at home layered over a dress or blouse, or paired with your favorite jeans. It’s the kind of piece you’ll reach for again and again.

Needle Size:
Size US 10½ (6.5 mm) 24-40” / 60-100 cm circular needles or size needed to obtain gauge (and, unless using magic loop for sleeves and neck, additional needles of the same size for your preference of small circumference knitting)

Note: Adjust needle size as needed to achieve gauge. It is recommended to check your gauge for both working flat and in the round to confirm that they are the same. Use different size needles for working flat and in the round if necessary to achieve the same gauge for both.
