For effortless cozy style, look no further than this A-line turtleneck with dramatic kimono sleeves. Auster features attractive branching cables layered over a tracery of diamonds; the sleeves are worked in reverse stockinette. An extra deep raglan shoulder draws the eye upward and creates a tidy fit at the shoulders to balance the width of the double-ribbed hem. Worked in Quarry, this poncho-style pullover will knit up quickly and pair well with slim trousers.

The pieces are worked separately and sewn together. The turtleneck collar is picked up and worked circularly after garment assembly.
