Pattern Description from Cast On, February-April 2010: “The pattern in this lesson is for a simple man’s V-neck pullover. The V-neck of this sweater is not very deep. After consulting with several men on the design, it was clear a higher neckline was desired. To make it a little more interesting to knit, a simple slip stitch pattern is worked on the front. there will be an explanation of each step in the construction preceding the pattern section. Pattern instructions are in blue to set them off from the explanations.”
