I love the texture of chenille yarn but feel it looks rather
dated when worked in plain Stockinette Stitch. Because
of this, I played around with texture, searching for the
perfect stitch to bring it up to date. My chosen stitch has a
three-row repeat, which I chose to work flat then seamed.
Featuring a gently sloping cowl, dropped shoulders and
deep ribs, this is a relaxed fit pullover, ideal for dressing
up or down.
