My Favorite Knit Sweater
I love this sweater and wear it often. It is made with a soft washable wool yarn in colors that make me happy.
The way this piece skims my hips, is not too snug around my belly and is perfectly tailored for my shoulders makes me thrilled. Also, the depth of the V-Neck is flattering for most body types.
Now, let’s talk about the bold stripes that are offset and really keep the eye moving so instead of making me look bigger they actually make me look smaller.
Made in sections, this piece is easy for any confident knitter to make.
