This cropped, drop-sleeved sweater features a dash of stranded colourwork - if you choose to use different colours to those recommended in the pattern, be sure to pick a striking combination to ensure the chevron design stands out. The shoulders are shaped using short rows and, like the neckband, are worked in a contrast colour. The left shoulder has a buttoned opening. This design, from Swedish brand MillaMia, showcases its Naturally Soft Aran yarn, a pure merino which comes in 27 shades.
