A beautifully cosy sweater with a separate cowl collar, so perfect to use with other outfits or in place of a scarf, but together with the sweater gives a stand-out look. The front and back are worked in basket stitch, giving this wonderful checked effect, and the sleeves in stocking stitch. The cowl is worked in a giant rib with 3 buttonholes incorporated. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions given.
