Rows Of Lavender Sweater is an oversized sweater knitted in a ribbed pattern. The sweater is worked from the top down, and shorts rows are used to shape the slant of the shoulder to create a good fit. The neckband and the sleeves are worked from picked up stitches, which means the sweater requires no other finishing than sewing down the neckband and weaving in the ends.
