One of 6 patterns included in the Handsome: Man Sweaters for Every Body ebook.

Rushaan is an excellent project for an advanced beginner or intermediate knitter. A classic Henley with garter-stitch accents on the sleeves, it’s worked seamlessly in the round with set-in sleeves and saddle shoulders joined as you go. Visually, the saddle construction makes shoulders appear broader.

Rushaan is written for 17 sizes, ranging from 32” to 64” finished chest circumference. Like all patterns in the Handsome ebook, Rushaan comes with free calculators to help customize your sweater’s fit, including sleeve length, body length, body shaping (A-line, V-line, or X-line), and short-row belly shaping.
