What’s so great about these timeless basic garments is that they can be worn again and again. This sweater is guaranteed to become one of my most-used pieces and is an excellent pattern for beginners. The sweater is knitted top-down with raglan increases, making it a perfect opportunity to experiment with colors and gradients.
