Something to sink into. This traditionally inspired sweater is for reading books in, for holding hands in, for drinking tea in. Like a big, comfy armchair. Worked bottom-up in the round to the armhole separation, this classic, multi-size pattern features a centre V on the front panel, with a moss-stitch background and cable details that embrace front and back.

This is the hug you can wear!
