Chunky seed-stitch shows its casual cool in a roomy drop-shoulder cowl-neck pullover. Worked in fiery red wool, this weekend wonder is a breeze to stitch.

Directions are for smallest size with larger sizes in parentheses.

Vogue Knitting Classic Patterns suggests substituting with a worsted-weight yarn and DK-weight yarn with fiber content similar to original yarns, i.e. wool and mohair/acrylic blend, respectively.
