This is a top-down sweater, knitted in the round. It starts with a provisional cast-on at the neckline, the yoke and body are worked down to the hem, then we pick up the provisional stitches to complete the neckline. Sleeve stitches are then worked top down. One sleeve has a panel worked in a different color. All edges are finished with a neat i-cord bind off.

This sweater was designed to become a staple in your wardrobe. Its stockinette stitch provides a basic surface to let the yarn shine; because of its construction, it’s easy to customize to your needs; and it has some special features that make it exciting, like a different color panel in one of the sleeves, or its bind-off technique. Made in aran weight yarn, this is a sweater that grows quickly on your needles and will definitely become a favorite in terms of warmth and comfort.

Happy knitting!
