Wider
This pattern can be found in issue 13 of Laine Magazine.
The Wider sweater is worked from the bottom up, and it is knitted with two yarns held together. The front and back are worked separately and then joined at the shoulders using a 3-Needle Bind-Off.
Inyoung Kim wanted to create a retro-style oversized sweater. This unisex design was based on a large sweater that both of her parents wore in the 1970s. The wide collar and giant cables make for a super-cool design.
