Farro Sweater features a single central cable on the front, a feminine silhouette with a balloon sleeve, and a subtle texture that is a pleasure to knit. Pair your sweater with jeans for a chic upgrade to a casual look or wear with a long skirt or dress to add warmth and style.

The sweater is worked from the top down. The neck is worked first in the round with a classic rib stitch – two alternative neck options are provided in the pattern – and the yoke continues to be worked in the round with increases at each shoulder for shaping. The front and back are then worked separately back and forth, then joined at the underarms to work in the round. Sleeve stitches are then picked up at each armhole and worked in the round. All edging is worked in a classic rib stitch.
