Tweeddale
Tweeddale is a drop shoulder pullover knit from the bottom up. The lower body is knit in the round to the underarm split, front and back are then separated and knit flat to the shoulders. Shoulders are angled using short rows and seamed using the 3-needle bind off technique. Sleeve stitches are picked up and knit in the round to the cuff. The body and sleeves consist of a basic stranded colourwork repeat, with a panel of embroidery on the centre front running from hem to neckline.
