Super Simple Sweater
You are going to love making this sweater almost as much as you love wearing it. Made out of a luxurious blend of Cashmerino and Mohair Silk, this sweater is light, airy and soft as a cloud. An easy to wear silhouette makes this sweater an instant wardrobe staple.
This sweater has a super simple construction. Front and Back are worked back and forth with no armhole or neck shaping. You then seam the shoulders, leaving neck hole open. Sleeve stitches are then picked up along the edge and knit down. Only seaming that needles to be done is along the sides of the body and down the sleeves. Final step is a quick steam or bath and you’re ready to go!
