Comfortable and stylish—the perfect combination. Soft yarn, easy stitch details make this fun to knit, and flattering silhouette and classic style make this fun to wear.

Front Swirl Stitch design adds interest to the sweater and flows beautifully and perfectly into the V-neck. The V-neck is knit right into the sweater so that the neck edge needs no finishing.
Vertical ribbing is slenderizing.

This is a cotton, worsted-weight version of ‘Siena Serenade’—in fingering weight wool; and ‘Andalucia,’—soon to be published, worked in heavy worsted weight wool; which both use a similar neck design. (I really like how this neck line works (and haven’t seen a design like this), so I’ve made three versions with different weight yarns.)

Pattern includes both written and chart instructions for swirl stitch pattern and photos of construction and stitch details in appendices.
