Cherry Sweater Pattern

Designed by Helga Isager

This pretty sweater has set-in sleeves with box pleats and rib edges, that are finished with a row of horizontal stitches and a row of eyelets. Stitches are picked up along the neckline from the WS for the neck edge and sewn to the RS with back stitches.
The sweater is worked flat from the bottom up in 4 pieces, which are blocked before being sewn together.
