If you have picked up a fashion magazine or wandered into a department store lately, chances are you’ve noticed that great sweaters are everywhere. Bulky and roomy or silky and clingy, they’re as right for the office as they are for the summer cottage. The good news is that unlike the intricately patterned intarsia knits or tricky bobbled and cabled numbers your grandmother seemed to produce with ease, these fabulous sweaters are surprisingly easy to make.

$21.95
