The Linden Sweater is a seamless, bottom-up slit-neck sweater that is comfortably oversized for all your forest-wandering needs. Worked from the ribbed hem up, the body is knit, and then the front and back panels are split. The back is worked first, then the front is worked, in which the slit-neck is also shaped. The neckline is finished with an i-cord edging, then the sleeves are picked up at the armscye and knit top-down.
