This pattern can be found in issue 11 of Laine Magazine.

This pattern also comes in a cardigan version.

Visiting is a textured sweater with a high V-neck for warmth and a semi shawl collar for snuggle. The body is worked flat from the hem upwards. The shoulders are joined using a 3-Needle Bind-Off and the sleeves are then picked up and knitted downwards to the cuff, with decreases and short row shaping at the sleevehead to reduce fabric bulk.
