This easy to knit 2-tone sweater has a subtle Gansey flavour. The body is worked in verticals of simple rice stitch, creating an attractive textured fabric. The yoke features a pretty diamond pattern with single purl stitches on a stocking stitch background. Purl ridges define the change between patterns and colours. The sleeves are worked top down and repeat the ridge detail for a lovely finish. Main body is worked bottom up and with full written instructions. A simple Chart is included for the diamond pattern.
