Nothing beats a cozy fall sweater except one that is light as well as warm. This unisex button-neck pullover in ten sizes (XS/S/M/L and 1X to 6X) is just that—substantial enough to be worn from September through March, but oh so light and breathable, knit in a lofty DK/light worsted weight yarn. Worked in one piece from hem to neck, with cable detailing along the seamlines, this project is a treat to knit and to wear.
