Wintour
Worked with two strands of irresistible yarn (or your own single-strand invention), this pullover becomes the perfect year-round sweater. The relaxed fit compliments the simple details of repeating purl stripes and ribbing, and the split hem is the final special touch.
This pattern is free with the purchase of a project kit.
Construction
The body of Wintour is worked from the bottom up in pieces, then seamed. The sleeves and neckline are picked up and worked circularly.
