Knitting pattern - Sand Dunes sweater

The Sand Dunes sweater is a hip-length knit worked from the top down. The Back and Front are worked in rows to the underarms, then the Body is joined and worked in rounds to the desired length. The Slanting striped stitch pattern runs throughout the garment, while the shoulders are worked in Seed stitch. The neck, hem, and cuffs are worked in double Rib stitch pattern with lace stitches. This pattern includes two neck options: a folded neck and a flat neck that repeats the Hem stitch pattern. The Sand Dunes sweater is a cosy and practical knit for the winter wardrobe, keeping you warm and comfortable both indoors and outdoors.
