The Foundation Sweater is a timeless, everyday sweater designed with a relaxed fit, clean lines, and carefully balanced proportions. Its comfortable silhouette follows the natural shape of the body, with shoulders sitting close to the natural shoulder line and a classic crew neckline.

Worked seamlessly from the top down, the sweater combines flat knitting and knitting in the round. The back and two fronts are worked separately at first, then joined to continue in the round. The sleeve caps are gradually shaped with increases before the sleeves are separated from the body. The body and sleeves are then completed in the round, and a folded neckband provides a neat, structured finish.

Designed as an easy and enjoyable knitting project, The Foundation Sweater is ideal for relaxed knitting sessions and makes a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
