This top-down pullover is all about simple textures to show off your favorite color of wool. Knits and purls zig zag from left to right, forming an easy to memorize fabric pattern. Eyelet rounds create a playful break in the pattern, and they add to the fluid drape of the sweater. Choose a beautiful solid wool like West Wool Tandem to accentuate the crisp texture of this beginner friendly Westknits sweater. The pattern includes video tutorial links showing you how to cast on, bind off, and work the short rows in the yoke.
