This attractive design gives a different slant to the ever popular block colour sweater. Neat little striped garter stitch edges add finish and clarity to the block effect. The fit is designed to be roomy and comfortable. If you wish to length the boxy shape, I recommend you do this at the end of the lower pattern section in order to keep the balance of the design perfect. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
