Homestead Sweater

Keep the home fires burning with this big, beautiful hug of a sweater, designed for generations of wear. Featuring a soft, high collar and a unique lace and cable panel, with seed stitch throughout, this piece is worked bottom-up in the round. Designed to be oversized, like the love that goes into it! The Homestead Sweater is worked in the round from the bottom hem up to the armholes. After armhole separation, the front and back pieces are worked separately, back and forth and joined at the shoulders. The ribbed high collar is then added by picking up stitches and incorporating live stitches around the neck hole. Finally, the sleeves are worked by picking up stitches around the armhole opening. Both sleeves are worked alike in the round in seed stitch with a ribbed cuff.
