Part coat, part cardigan, all texture. The gentle A-line shaping layers beautifully over everything while the allover stitch pattern keeps things interesting from cast-on to bind-off. Straightforward drop-shoulder construction means this impressive-looking piece is more approachable than you’d think, making it perfect for knitters ready to level up their skills without the stress.
Interlude is knit from the bottom up in one piece to the underarms, where the back and fronts are completed separately and seamed at the shoulders. Sleeve stitches are picked up around the armhole edge and worked in the round to the wrist.
