Seneca Sweater
“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.”
-Seneca
This pattern can be found in issue two of Nomadic Knits, which is available to purchase as a digital download (click the e-book link above).
The Seneca Sweater features an easy and relaxed fit, top-down seamless raglan construction, and a flattering V-neck that remains proportional across all sizes. Fingering weight yarn is held double
