The simplicity of Truffle Sweater makes it a perfect project for novice knitters who want to add a textured garment to their handmade wardrobe. The sweater is worked with three strands (1 strand of Heave Merino and 2 strands of Soft Silk Mohair) together throughout, and seamlessly top down in the round in Double seed stitch pattern. It begins with a ribbed neckband and continues in stitch pattern with raglan increases to the underarms. Sleeve stitches are then placed on hold to be worked after the body has been completed. Both body and sleeves end in ribbed edges.
