The intricate-looking diagonal motif all over this sweater is achieved by a simple slip-stitch pattern and it is guaranteed to draw attention! Sweater is worked back and forth for the length of the side split, then joined in the round to armhole and divided again to work back and front separately. Shoulder seams are sewn with a three-needle bind off, then you pick up stitches for the sleeves around armhole and work them top-down in the round. The last touch is the ribbed neck band…and you’re done!
