With the weather finally turning from the heat of summer to the cooler days and nights of autumn, we naturally begin to think of warm, comfy sweaters. Full of texture and varying stitches, you’ll love wearing this very oversized tunic length sweater.
The front and back are worked flat with no armhole shaping. The shoulders are shaped by binding off stitches in steps so that the shoulder seams are more stable when sewn together. The sleeves are worked in the round in K1, P1 Rib, then joined to the armholes using Three-Needle Bind-Off after picking up stitches along the armholes.
