The basic pattern of this v-neck sweater is actually somewhat unspectacular: knit and purl stitches and yarn overs. But the clever placement of increases and decreases on the front piece make all the difference! The pattern flows diagonally on the front piece, making the sweater look a little longer in the back. A great idea! The sweater is worked in Merino Extrafine 120 – so it can even be machine washed.
