This pattern can be found in issue 5 of Laine Magazine.

Nutkin is a relaxed, slightly A-line sweater that is knitted flat from the bottom up and later seamed together. It features triangular side panels with slipped stitches which create a slightly rounded shape to the bottom of the sweater. Small, charming details on ribbings add interest to this go-to garment.
