Transport yourself to a cozy English cottage in this comfy, relaxed sweater. The design is surprisingly light thanks to the half double crochet stitches worked from side to side for a smooth, vertical, brioche-knit look. The slanted drop-shoulder design avoids tricky armhole and sleeve cap shaping, flowing smoothly from the shoulder through the upper arm.
