Cow Sweater is a simple and basic staple sweater that showcases a fun and eye-catching cow pattern with classic cow spots that are worked in a contrasting color using the intarsia technique. It is worked back and forth in pieces using 1 strand of Merino + 1 strand of Soft Silk Mohair held together throughout. The sweater is seamed at the end along the shoulders, both sides of the body and underarms.

You start working the front back and forth from the hem up to the shoulders. Afterwards, the back is worked in a similar way before the shoulders are seamed, and stitches picked up for the sleeves. The sleeves are worked back and forth and shaped with decreases. Stitches are picked up for the neckband before the neckband is worked in 1x1 rib.

The colorwork is charted only and worked using the intarsia technique.
