Fancy Wool Sweater is designed for those who want to wear a garment with nuanced colours. It’s knitted in four pieces: back, front and two sleeves. Neckline ribbing is worked last by picking up stitches. Keep in mind that the front is designed to be shorter than the back.

The sweater’s construction requires knowledge of the following techniques: cast on, 1x1 rib stitch, stockinette stitch, increase stitches, cast off stitches and pick up stitches.
