This lovely sweater has a real touch of retro flair. The slightly puffed sleeves are worked top down making it easy to change the length. And a “cats-eye” pattern is used which gives an enhanced eyelet stitch. This is then reflected in the slanting eyelets on the body. The main body is worked bottom up. Full written instructions.
