A smart everyday sweater with classic styling.

This sweater is made in DK weight yarn, making it ideal for warmer weather or for layering under a coat or jacket.

The sweater is made in the traditional way, bottom up in pieces which are then seamed. This type of construction makes for a very stable knitted garment which will keep its shape well, and won’t twist.

The round neck has been designed with care so that it is neither too loose nor too tight, and can be worn with a collared shirt underneath if preferred.

The classic set in sleeves mean that the sweater will not feel bulky in the underarms when worn under a jacket.

The subtle texture pattern is easy to work, and results in a lot of surface interest in the upper body.

This pattern also comes with the Stonehaven sweater, a V-neck version of this design, so you get both styles in the one pattern at no extra cost.
