This top-down sweater is knit seamlessly in the round with a beautiful textured basketweave pattern. Yarn over eyelets accentuate the woven effect in the fabric. Select a beautiful color of DK weight yarn and enjoy the relaxing rows of this project. You can easily customize the length of the yoke, sleeves, and body to fit your size.
