Dear Virginia
This chunky sweater is worked seamlessly from the top down. It has a relaxed and oversized cut, dropped shoulders and a fluffy texture. Triangle pattern front and back is worked in intarsia. The front and back are worked flat and the body is worked circularly from the underarms to the hem. Stitches for the sleeves are picked up in the armholes and worked circularly. There is a red embroidery triangle at the bottom of the sleeves.
