An ideal sweater for every season, especially for those who prefer a shorter sleeve. The eye-catching shell panels stand out beautifully against a stocking stitch background, making this design as enjoyable to knit as it is to wear. Worked in a cotton and linen rich yarn, it’s light, breathable, and perfect for summer, yet versatile enough to be treasured and knitted again and again. Worked bottom up and with full written instructions.
