Lightweight yet cozy and warm, this sweater will be your favorite for fall and winter, and will make for a great layering piece.
The front and back are worked separately, with extended shoulders that are shaped using wrap-and-turn short-rows. The shoulder stitches are joined using Three-Needle Bind-Off that’s exposed on the right side.
The sleeves are worked in the round from the cuff up, then a shallow sleeve cap is worked to provide a better fitting sleeve with less bulk at the bottom of the armhole.
A twist-stitch pattern within the rib keeps the knitting interesting.
