Sometimes we just want the simplicity of a traditional pieced sweater: four squares, elevated with shaping details and a modern silhouette. This sweater gives instructions for two versions, a pullover or a t-shirt, and the option to knit totally flat or work the neckline in the round. If you choose to work the vertical stripe detail, we recommend knitting flat: it is much simpler to work the crochet chains. Easy as ABC!
