Like a sigh on a harsh winter’s day, the Hansoom Sweater is here to give you a gentle hug! With a comfortable, oversized fit and roomy but fit-under-jacket sleeves, the Hansoom Sweater can go anywhere with you as a companion. Worked top-down, the upper back is worked, then the front panels are worked, then joined to finish the front. Then, the front is worked to the armhole, and everything is joined to finish the body in two-by-two ribbing. The neckline is finished with a double-sided, thick ribbing, and the sleeves are picked up and worked down. This pattern includes short-rows to create a comfy, yet gently shaped construction that is easy to wear, style, and explore in.
