KNITTING PATTERN -- Jasper Sweater - P228
This simple yet effective sweater is worked in a slipped stitch pattern which makes a beautiful soft squishy garment, ideal for the colder months. The garment is worked in pieces, so there is some seaming involved. After many requests for knitters who are not too fussed with knitting sweaters in the round, I had them in mind when coming up with this design.
