This classic pullover is topped with a wide, flattering neck and an interesting hem, both trimmed with I-cord. Garter-stitch columns create depth of texture and achieve a strong vertical dynamic without sacrificing drape. The garter stitch behaves beautifully with a bateau neckline because it is not inclined to curl. Made with simple knits and purls, it makes for perfect coffeehouse knitting.
