Introducing our beautifully designed cosy winter sweater, expertly crafted from the top down in one seamless piece. This charming sweater features a lovely lace border around the neckline and a stylish backward slit adorned with small buttons, making it a standout piece for your winter wardrobe. The buttons are sewn on, eliminating the hassle of working buttonholes, which adds to its beginner-friendly appeal.
In terms of design, aside from the eye-catching lace border, this sweater is primarily knitted in gentle stockinette stitch complemented by small garter stitch borders. This makes it an ideal project for knitting beginners and those looking to hone their skills. With a relaxed and comfortable fit, this sweater is intended to provide approximately 4” (10 cm) of positive ease at the bust, ensuring you stay warm while looking great. The sample shown is in size S.
**Gauge:** 20 sts and 30 rows = 4” (10 x 10 cm) in stockinette stitch.
