We have played around with the classic crew-neck sweater to create an appealing design that will be fun to knit and wear. The front and back pieces are knitted with angled edges on one side, joined by a third piece shaped to give a triangular notch in the hem. We also love the modern-looking, off-centre cable panel that’s edged with a section of Irish moss stitch to provide contrast. Options for a crew neck or a low funnel neck are provided, and the sweater is knitted in Sublime’s gorgeous Extra Fine Merino DK yarn.
