Carlson is a classic sweater in modern times—the one you reach for when you want to look and feel put together, time and time again. The interesting texture is so fun to knit. Running my fingers atop the knitted fabric helped me slow down and enjoy every row. If you haven’t tried working a tuck stitch yet, grab your needles. A thrilling—yet surprisingly easy—adventure awaits!

Carlson is worked from the bottom up—both in the round and flat. The lower body is worked in the round and then split to work the back and front yoke flat. After the shoulders are joined, sleeve stitches are picked up at the edge of the armhole and sleeves are worked in the round. To finish the sweater, stitches are picked up and worked in the round to create that classic v-neck collar.
