A boxy silhouette and a surface design of cabled chevrons add up to a graceful layering piece. Stockinette sleeves keep the focus on the motif of tiny cables, which is charted and easy to read from the knitting. The pert collar begins in double rib but finishes in a stockinette roll as a simple but elegant counterpoint to the width of the body. Nolan is worked in Arbor for beautiful definition and midweight warmth.
Construction
- The back and front are worked flat from the bottom up. The sleeves are worked flat from the top down. The neckband is picked up and worked circularly after garment assembly.
