This sweater was designed with my beautiful mother in law in mind. This sweater is intended to be stylish with a relaxed comfortable fit. The textured yarn makes it stand out while also being especially soft. It knits up quick and is intended to be accessible to knitters of all levels. It is knit seamlessly from the top down, and is identical in the front and the back.
