This is a relatively quick and easy knit to beat any bad weather gloom.
The sweater is full length with long sleeves.
It is knitted bottom-up, seamlessly and circular and has a buttonband between collar and bust-line. It has an open collar which quickly buttons into a turtle or roll-neck.
The special Little Bobble stitch in the yoke adds a little focal point and some decorative playfulness.
