This is a top-down sweater worked in stripes using Cotton Slub and Casaria. The unique texture created by the contrast between the two yarns is the main feature of this design. Stitches are cast on in the round at the neckline and shaped with short rows. The body is then worked by alternating Cotton Slub and Casaria. The construction follows a classic top-down method, making it beginner-friendly. With 6 mm needles as the main size, it also works up quickly.
