Nothing But Joy
This design was just pure joy from beginning to end, starting with the yarn, Northbound Knitting MCN Worsted in this amazing colorway called “Velour”. The unusual ribbing of the funnel neck extends into a very current central lattice pattern flanked by two cables on either side.
The body and the sleeves are knit in reverse Stockinette and the 3/4 sleeves give the sweater a slightly more elegant look but that doesn’t mean it can’t be worn with your favourite pair of jeans.
Note that the explanations are given to knit the sleeves inside out in Stockinette to avoid the purling!
