Wilfred’s Sweater is a simple sweater with buttons on the left shoulder. Wilfred’s Sweater is worked bottom up – first, the body is worked in the round and next, the front and back are worked flat. Then, sts are picked up around the neck to work a rib neckline. At the end, sts for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole and the sleeves are worked in the round from here. Wilfred’s Sweater can be knit with stripes or in one color.
