I had always had it in my mind that I wanted to design a sweater for my husband, something that he would want to constantly reach for and put on before leaving the house, as well as being comfortable and easy to wear while also looking smart and put together. At the same time it needed to be practical and warm for the colder months!

So with my husband’s input we chose the colour of the yarn together, and after some swatching of different stitch patterns and ideas I had, he selected the ones he liked (even down to the type of ribbing!) and we discussed how he wanted it to look and the overall fit he was looking for.

With all that in mind this is the final sweater that came from all of that! I am so happy with this sweater and its a great layering piece that my husband loves to wear especially when he is out working in his green house!

It is a very versatile sweater with several inches of positive ease and would look great worn by any gender, there is no waist shaping involved and the length of the body and sleeves can be easily adjusted to suit your preferences.

Knit out of a sport weight (or heavy fingering) yarn it is a perfect sweater for those transitional months and a great layering piece for the colder seasons!
