This sweater is such a classic that we had to knit it up for the entire family. We love the crisp field of colors against the white and the symmetrical decrease.

Knit bottom up in double strands of Pickles Pure Thin Alpaca. You don’t need to know how to knit stranded knitting for this as you only ever use one color at the time.
