Acoustic Sweater is worked from the top down, in the round, seamlessly. Raglan increases in the yoke make for a well-fitting garment. Colorwork sections throughout the pattern make the project exciting, with stockinette breaks in between allowing for relaxing knitting. The colorwork is easy to memorize, only ever 2 colors at a time and short floats - perfect for colorwork beginners!
