Armchair Sweater

*This is a knitting pattern download, not the purchase of the product shown in the photo.
 
Something to sink into. This traditionally inspired sweater is for reading books in, for holding hands in, for drinking tea in. Like a big, comfy armchair.  Worked bottom-up in the round to the armhole separation, this classic, multi-size pattern features a centre V on the front panel, with a moss-stitch background and cable details that embrace front and back.

This is the hug you can wear!
