From the book: Slip into casual weekend mode with this chic and comfortable oversize sweater. Its subtle checkerboard effect is created by stitching rows of alternating colors. The sleeves are stitched at the same time as the body, and the yokes are stitched onto the front and back after the garment pieces are partly assembled.

Design Details:

  • Very loose fitting
  • Round neck
  • Full-length dolman sleeve
  • Body length to just above high hip
