Level of Difficulty - Intermediate
Suitable for the intermediate knitter, this sweater is knitted with Adorn Cotton Cashmere DK on 5mm needles to give a floppy drape. Worked in reverse stocking stitch with a long faux rib waist band, this garment has faux rib sleeves with patterned trim at the drop shoulder edge on the body. To give better structure to the ¾ sleeves, garter stitch wrist bands have been added after the sleeves have been worked.
