The meadow sweater is a versatile striped sweater that offers ample opportunity to play with color, use up leftovers, or create an everyday basic. Knitted top-down in stockinette stitch, the sweater combines a saddle shoulder construction with raglan increases.
The back shaping is worked flat, then the work is connected in the round to finish the yoke. All seams feature a decorative lifted stitch that creates crisp, defined lines while cleverly hiding the color transitions. The body, sleeves and collar are knitted in the round and finished with effortless rolled edges.
