UPDATED version! Sorry for the delay…Life got in the way.

A good project to knit up for that someone special, a significant other or your favorite guy (dad, bro, son, nephew, etc…) I made this sweater for my husband a few years ago. I’m proud to say it’s become his favorite, so much so that the proof is in the continual stream of coffee stains he keeps having to wash out of it (after the second wash, I told him he’d have to wash it himself from then on if he kept dripping stuff on it). I used a machine washable wool from Cleckheaton which is very soft.

This pattern fits men’s sizes (Medium, Large) and XLarge — David’s got XL shoulders!
