This stylish sweater is knitted from the top down, beginning with the back where stitches are added to shape the shoulders. After casting on for the front, the neckline is shaped, and the pieces are joined to work in the round. The design features a combination of knit and purl stitches, with colorwork incorporated on both the right and wrong sides, extending across the front, back, and sleeves. The sweater is finished with split ribbing and a cozy double turtleneck. This pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters looking to enhance their skills.
