Knit from the top down using clever one-piece construction, this sweater requires very little finishing work when you are done with the knitting. The simple shape is enhanced with a classic basketweave pattern on the trim along the collar, button band, and sleeves. A comfortable shape and easy fit create a sweater that is perfect with jeans or a summer dress.
