WHAT’S INCLUDED
ABOUT THIS DESIGN
This design is worked from the top down, in one piece, so you can easily check the fit—shoulders, chest, sleeves, length as you knit. It’s the perfect pattern for a ski sweater or for those chilly days when one feels best in just a cozy sweater—forget the coat.
Haven’t knitted a top-down sweater before? Don’t worry. Here’s a free, printable PDF of top-down knitting instructions.
