DESIGNER: Sarah Solomon
Ainsworth is an oversized drop shoulder pullover with a saddle. The sweater is worked flat in pieces from the bottom up. The silhouette is based on traditional Aran pullovers and is suitable for a range of body types. Choose your size based on the finished chest measurement and the recommended ease. The cable patterns are simple and easy to memorize, and carefully-planned selvedge stitches simplify sewing the sweater together. A V-neck and patterned saddle add subtle detail to the design, and the double collar provides an elegant finish.
NOTE: This pattern is worked from the bottom up.
