Here’s a lovely all seasons sweater. The nature of the stitch gives an embossed effect to the diamond patterning on the front and back. The sleeves are in simple stocking stitch and all borders are in 2/2 rib. Suggested yarn is Stylecraft Softie Chunky, but Stylecraft Special Chunky or Bellissima Chunky would work equally well. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
