Raised zigzags of slipped-stitch knitting dance around the hem and arms of this relaxed-fit sweater. The body of the Chiseled Pullover is worked in the round to the underarms, holding two different strands of yarn together. The strands are separated when slipping stitches, which creates the subtle, raised patterning.
